Bake mini fruit and nut loaves for delicious homemade gifts.

Ingredients:

375.00 ml pitted dried dates, chopped
125.00 ml pitted prunes, chopped
2.50 gm bicarbonate of soda
100g butter, softened
135.00 gm firmly packed brown sugar
312.50 ml plain flour
5.00 gm ground ginger
2.50 gm mixed spice
82.50 ml dry-roasted hazelnuts, finely chopped

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan-forced and generously grease an 8-hole, 3/4 cup-capacity mini loaf pan.
In a saucepan, combine dates, prunes, and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then remove from heat. Stir in bicarbonate of soda and blend the mixture until nearly smooth. Allow it to cool before using.
Cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in date mixture, flour, ginger, and mixed spice. Spoon batter into prepared holes, then sprinkle with hazelnuts and press lightly into the batter.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until a skewer inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean. Allow cakes to rest in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
