Ingredients

Sticky Date Cake

• 250g dates, pitted and roughly chopped
• 2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
• 1 cup boiling hot water
• 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
• 100g unsalted butter, softened
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 ½ cups SR flour, sifted
• 1 teaspoon mixed spice

Butterscotch Sauce

• 300ml thickened cream
• 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
• 125g unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

Sticky Date Cake

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C. Grease and line the base of a 20cm round cake pan.
2. Place dates and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl or jug. Pour over boiling water. Allow to stand for 5-10 minutes, whilst you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
3. Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until pale and creamy. Add the vanilla and eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
4. Put the date mixture into a blender and blitz until combined. Pour into the creamed butter mixture.
5. Using a large metal spoon or spatula, fold through date mixture, SR flour and mixed spice until well combined.
6. Pour mixture into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool in the tin, before turning onto a plate to serve.

Butterscotch Sauce

1. To make the sauce simply combine all sauce ingredients in a saucepan over medium/low heat. Cook, stirring often, until sauce comes to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 2 minutes.

To Serve:

1. Serve single slices of cake and drizzle with sauce.
2. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

I like to serve my sticky date pudding slightly warm. You can warm individual servings in the microwave for 10-20 seconds
