How to Make Country Women's Association Delicious Date And Ginger Cake
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Grease and flour an 18cm square cake tin.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 200g chopped dates, 150g brown sugar, 2 tablespoons ground ginger, 100g butter, and 250ml water.
- Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda.
- Stir until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
- In a separate bowl, sift 200g gluten-free self-raising flour (or 200g plain flour for non-gluten-free version). Add one large beaten egg and gently fold into the date mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared tin and spread evenly.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the tin before slicing and serving.
