Tips:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) before you start mixing the ingredients to ensure it's ready when your batter is prepared.
- Make sure the butter is at room temperature for easy creaming with the sugar.
- Chop the dates finely to ensure they distribute evenly throughout the cake.
- Peel and grate the ginger root for a more intense flavor.
- For a lighter texture, sift the self-raising flour before adding it to the mixture.
- To make sure your cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when the cake is done.
Once baked, let your Date and Ginger Cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This cake pairs wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy your homemade, heartwarming treat!
