Best Date Ginger Malt Loaf Recipes

DATE & GINGER LOAF (4 INGREDIENTS)

Steps:

• Add coffee to 1 cup boiling water & mix, pour over dates & soak overnight.
• Stir in flour & ginger.
• Pour mixture into a paper-lined or well-greased loaf tin & bake at 160.C for approx 45 minutes.
• Serve with butter.

DATE AND GINGER TEA LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly coat an 81/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 loaf pan with canola oil spray. Set aside.
• In one bowl, combine the banana, dates, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and maple syrup. In another bowl, combine the two flours, baking powder and salt. Set both bowls aside.
• In a large bowl, use a wooden spoon to cream the butter and sugar until fluffy.
• Mix in the eggs. The mixture may look curdled. Stir in the dry ingredients. Blend in the banana mixture, creating a sticky, thick batter. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it evenly.
• Bake 35 minutes, or until the top is well-browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Let the cake rest 2 minutes in the pan, then turn out and cool it completely on a rack. If possible, wrap it in foil and set it aside for 24 hours before serving, to allow the flavors to mellow.
• If desired, slices of cake can be warmed just before serving by wrapping them in wax paper and heating in a microwave at low power for a few seconds.
• Makes 10 one-inch slices.

STICKY MALT LOAVES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Line the base and ends of two greased 450g/1lb non-stick loaf tins with strips of baking parchment.
• Pour the hot tea into a mixing bowl with the malt, sugar and dried fruit. Stir well, then add the eggs.
• Tip in the flour, then quickly stir in the baking powder and bicarbonate of soda and pour into the prepared tins. Bake for 50 mins until firm and well risen. While still warm, brush with a little more malt to glaze and leave to cool.
• Remove from the tins. If you can bear not to eat it straight away, it gets more sticky after wrapping and keeping for 2-5 days. Serve sliced and buttered, if you like.
