Here’s another simple cake recipe.
Sticky date pudding with butterscotch sauce.
Ingredients:
200g seeded dried dates
310ml boiling water
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
50g unsalted butter chopped
100g firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs beaten lightly
150g self-raising flower
BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE
150g firmly packed brown sugar
300ml cream
80g unsalted butter
- Preheat oven to moderate. Grease deep 20cm round cake pan; line base with baking paper
- combine dates and the water in medium heatproof bowl. Stir in soda; stand 5 minutes.
- Blend or process date mixture with butter and sugar until pureed. Allow to cool.
- Add eggs and flour; blend or process until just combined. Pour mixture into prepared pan.
Bake uncovered in moderate oven for about 1 hour (cover with foil if pudding starts to overbrown). Stand 10 minutes; turn onto serving plate. Serve warm with butterscotch sauce.
Butterscotch sauce
Combine ingredients in a medium saucepan; stir over low heat until sauce is smooth and lightly thickened.
This is one of my favorites and can be served with added thickened cream.
Enjoy

That sounds like something I can make for the holidays.
I must have warped mind.
I laughed at "firmly packed brown sugar" and at first glance I thought it said "buttercrotch sauce"
hammer, it's very easy to make and I know you'll love it. Maybe buttersnatch sauce?
Sounds too good. I will try it. Here we have a lot of dates, you know, and really cheap too. I never knew what to make of dates beside eating them as they are. Used to make some date-jam though.
Kirsten, medjool dates are the best.
