Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Lightly butter 3 small Reynolds Redi Pan Loaf pans.

Combine flours, baking powder, ginger, cardamom, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon in a bowl. Make a well in the dry ingredients.

Blend butter, brown sugar and molasses. Whisk in eggs, one at a time; pour in milk and mix well. Stir in dates. Pour egg mixture into well in dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Divide batter among prepared pans.

Bake for about 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the loaf comes out clean. Cool in pans 5 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack. Makes 3 mini loaves.
