Ingredients
- 180 g DATES
- 200 ml WATER
- 1 tsp BAKING SODA
- 75 g UNSALTED BUTTER
- 150 g DARK BROWN SUGAR
- 2 large EGGS
- 175 g SELF-RISING FLOUR
- 1 tsp VANILLA EXTRACT
- 150 ml HEAVY CREAM
Instructions
Step 1:
-
Chop the dates into very small pieces. Place them in a small heatproof bowl. Pour the boiling water over the dates. Let them sit for ten minutes.
Step 2:
-
Add the baking soda to the date mixture. Stir it well and set it aside. Preheat your oven to 180°C now. Grease your baking dish with some butter.
Step 3:
-
Cream the butter and brown sugar together. Use your whisk until the mix is pale. Add the eggs one at a time. Whisk well after you add each egg.
Step 4:
-
Fold in the flour and vanilla extract gently. Add the soaked dates and the water. Stir until the batter is just combined. Do not overmix the cake batter.
Step 5:
-
Pour the batter into the greased dish. Bake for thirty to thirty-five minutes. The top should feel firm to touch. A skewer should come out clean.
Step 6:
-
Make the sauce while the cake bakes. Put butter, sugar, and cream in a pan. Heat it gently until the sugar melts. Let it bubble for three minutes.
Step 7:
-
Poke holes in the warm cooked sponge. Pour half of the sauce over it. Let the sauce soak into the cake. Serve the rest of the sauce on top.
Notes
- Use fresh dates for the very best flavor.
- Do not overbake the sponge or it gets dry.
- The sauce thickens as it cools down a bit.
- Always grease the baking dish corners very well.
- Sift the flour to avoid lumps in batter.
- Warm the sauce right before you serve it.
