Recipe: Date & Ginger Slice

Ginger would have to be one of my favourite flavourings. It's divine in both sweet and savoury. This slice is very quick to mix together, perfect for last minute baking when you have guests on their way over. Feel free to add more ginger if you like it spicey!

Recipe notes:
The slice pictured has been baked using purple wheat, but I usually make it with spelt. It also works well on regular unbleached white flour, just decrease the flour to 1 3/4 cups instead. You can also substitute with your preferred sweetener



Date & Ginger Slice

Ingredients:

3 tblsp chopped butter
1 cup chopped fresh dates
1 tblsp freshly grated ginger
1/2 cup rapadura
1 tsp bi-carb soda
2 cups self-raising spelt or whole wheat flour

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 175°C and line a loaf tin with grease-proof paper
2. Combine all ingredients except for flour. Add 1 cup of boiling water and stir until the butter melts, then add the flour
3. Pour into prepared tin and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until it has come away from the sides and is firm in the middle
4. Allow to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely

Enjoy!
