Name: Queen Elizabeth Date Cake
Total time: 1 h 50 min
Yield: 1
Ingredients: 200g/7oz unsalted butter; 135g/4¼oz light muscovado brown sugar; 135g (4¼oz) dark muscovado sugar; 250g/9oz Medjool dates (I use 12), each one stoned and roughly chopped into 4 pieces; 100g/4oz sultanas; 2 large eggs; 250g/9oz self-raising flour; 250g/9oz Bramley apples, peeled, cored and grated. (I tend to use 2 medium-large size apples. It is okay if it is just over 250g/9oz, this will just make the cake more moist, with more of a pudding texture.); Grated zest of 2 lemons; 2.5cm/1in piece of ginger, peeled and grated
