Instructions
Step 1
For the Sponge - Preheat oven to 175 °C and line 8” square cake tin
Step 2
Coat dates in baking soda and heat with the milk in a saucepan till simmering/reaches a light boil. Leave to cool for 10-20 minutes before placing into a food processor and blending till a smooth paste is formed.
Step 3
Cream the butter till soft. Then combine the sugars and cream/beat for 5 minutes till light and fluffy.
Step 4
Whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder in a separate bowl
Step 5
Add in the eggs one at a time to the butter/sugar mixture until it’s all added. Then add in the flavours (ground ginger, nutmeg and molasses) to the mixture
Step 6
Add the dry ingredients and fold till roughly combined, then add in the date/milk paste. Fold till the mixture is homogenous and pour into the prepared cake tin.
Step 7
Bake for 35-40 minutes till a skewer comes clean from the middle
Step 8
Whilst the cake is cooking, work on the toffee sauce. Place butter into saucepan and melt on a low heat. Remove from hob and leave to cool slightly.
Step 9
Add all remaining ingredients into the saucepan and place on a medium-low heat. Stir gently until they are all combined
Step 10
Turn the heat up slightly and allow the mixture to reach a light simmer/boil/bubble whilst stirring. Keep stirring and leave the mixture till it is no longer grainy and reaches around 50-55 °C, keep it there for 3-5minutes before removing from the heat. Keep stirring for a while till the boiling settles
Step 11
Pour into desired container and cover directly with clingfilm, allow to cool before using the toffee sauce.
Step 12
Once the cake is removed from the oven, generously coat with homemade toffee sauce and then serve warm with additional warm toffee sauce and soft ice cream!
Step 13
If you want to serve hot again later on, reheat by warming the cake and sauce in the microwave for 30-45 seconds (in 10 sec bursts) till hot and then serve
