Method

In large bowl, whisk together flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. In separate bowl, whisk together egg, sugar, water, molasses and vegetable oil; stir into flour mixture until smooth. Fold in dates.

Spread in 13- x 9-inch (3.5 L) parchment paper–lined metal cake pan. Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven until skewer inserted in centre comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool in pan on rack.

Topping: In bowl, beat together butter, icing sugar and salt; stir in cream and brandy. Spread over gingerbread; refrigerate until set, 20 to 25 minutes. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days or overwrap and freeze for up to one month.) Cut into bars.
