Ingredients
  

Date Soak

  • 15 Mejdool dates, pitted, roughly chopped about 320g, or 10-11oz.
  • 1⅛ teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1 cup Boiling water
  • 1 teaspoon Instant coffee optional

Date Cake

  • 1⅓ cup All purpose flour
  • teaspoon Baking powder
  • ¼ cup Brown sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup Milk
  • 2 Large eggs, room temperature
  • 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon optional, but adds great flavor

Toffee Sauce

  • 1 cup Brown sugar
  • cup Heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter

Instructions
 

Cake Batter

  • Preheat oven to 350 °F
  • First, remove the pits from the dates and roughly chop them. Add them to a bowl.
  • Sprinkle the baking soda and instant coffee(if you're using it) on top of the chopped dates. Now add the boiling water and let them soak for 10-15 minutes.
  • Now, Get started on the cake while the dates soak.
  • Add the room temperature butter and brown sugar to a mixing bowl. Beat with an electric whisk on medium speed until smooth and fluffy.
  • Now, Add in the two large eggs. After that, drizzle in the vanilla extract and milk. Now you can mix again until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes.
  • 6. Then, add the all purpose flour and baking powder. If you're using cinnamon and/or nutmeg, add it now as well.
  • After that, beat with an electric mixer until well incorporated. At this point, the dates should have had enough time to soak.
  • Then, mash the dates with a fork or immersion blender until they look mushy and like oatmeal.
  • After that, add the mashed dates to the batter and mix quickly with your electric mixer until smooth and well incorporated.
  • Place the date cake into a well greased pan or personal pudding molds and bake in a preheated oven. Check Notes below for bake time. I baked mine in individual molds, so they took about 22 minutes for the skewer to come out clean.

Toffee Sauce

  • Add the brown sugar, vanilla, heavy cream and butter to a pan. Cook on medium heat until the sugar and butter are melted, and mix together with a whisk. Let it simmer for 2-4 minutes until thickened, and serve it warm.

To Serve:

  • Once the cake is done baking, poke about 8-10 holes all over each pudding cake mold and pour a 1-2 tablespoons of toffee sauce and let the cake sit for 10 minutes before flipping onto individual plates.
  • Finally, serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, and warm toffee sauce.

Notes

  • I made these in mini bundt cake molds, and they were big. They made 6 large individual servings, and it took 20-22 minutes to bake. 
  • You can also just add the cake into a 9×13 pan and bake until a tooth pick comes out clean, about 25-35 minutes. Poke holes all over and add about 1/2 cup of toffee sauce on top. Let it sit for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

    This turned out so delicious and had the perfect texture and balance of dates. I baked the batter in mini loaf pans which were a perfect yet generous serving size.

    This was a crowd pleasing dessert!! I love the addition of instant coffee! I actually baked mine as cupcakes for 18-20 minutes and they were the perfect portion sizes for a gathering I hosted. Thank you 🙂
