How to Make Apple And Date Loaf
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 25cm x 11cm loaf tin.
- In a medium bowl, combine 200g pitted dates, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 x 400g can of sliced apples (drained), 50g crystallised ginger (finely chopped), 1 teaspoon ground ginger, and 150ml boiling water. Stir well and let stand for 10 minutes to allow the dates to soften.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together 175g softened butter and 200g granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time.
- Gradually add the date mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with 250g sifted all-purpose flour. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf tin and spread evenly.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
- Let the loaf cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
