Hope you enjoy. As usual when it comes to anything my family or I have going, there will be a catch somewhere and sometimes the recipes, to some degree, are open for interpretation. There are two instances in this recipe that you need to exercise some self management with.
- notice the brown sugar ("2 and a bit cups"............ )
- and my favourite ( Cook in a 175 degree oven till cooked............... what can I say?)
Sticky date cake and sauce
This makes 3 loaf tins
Soak (10 mins) 500gs of pitted dates in
600mls of boiling water that has 2 teaspoons of bi-carb soda and 120gs of
butter.
All in a mixing bowl:
2 teaspoons of vanilla essence
5 large eggs
360g of SR flour
2 and a bit cups of brown sugar
250g of walnuts (chopped not crushed)
Add date mixture into the mixing bowl with the above – and using the electric mixer, mix for 5 mins
pour mixture evenly into 3 greased loaf tins.
Cook in 175 degree oven till cooked.
Sauce
300 mls of cream
100g of butter
300g of brown sugar – dark brown sugar is
better if you have it.
2 teaspoons of vanilla essence
Bring to boil and then turn right down and
simmer for 5 mins.
Serve warm with ice-cream.
