Serves 8

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cooking Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

160 g Dates, pitted and chopped
90 g prunes, pitted and chopped
1½ cups water
1 t Bicarbonate of soda
80 g butter, cubed, plus extra to grease
110 g Demerara sugar
2 free-range eggs
150 g cake flour
½ cup mixed organic dried berries (goji berries, cherries, blueberries)

Method

Preheat the oven to 160°C and lightly grease a muffin pan or 8 round cake moulds.

Place the dates, prunes and water in a pan and simmer gently over a medium to low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the bicarbonate of soda, remove from the heat and allow to cool.

In a bowl, whisk together the butter and sugar until pale and creamy, then whisk in the eggs, one at a time.

Roughly purée the cooled date mixture, then fold into the sugary butter mixture a little at a time, before folding in the flour.

Scatter the mixed dried berries into the bottom of the moulds, then spoon in the batter to half-fill each muffin or cake mould.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Leave to cool for 5 to 10 minutes, then remove from the moulds.

Cook’s note: A pot of Greek yoghurt on the side is a great substitute for a syrupy drizzle or icing.
