I'm not a big fan of dates, but I thought I would give this cake a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The cake was moist and flavorful, and the dates were not overpowering at all. I would definitely make this cake again.

The cake was easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a bit more ginger. Otherwise, it was perfect.

I found this cake to be a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add some extra butter or oil next time.
