For the past several years, I’ve been posting a Christmas special cake, which is not the traditional fruit cake. Usually, it takes me a long time to figure out that “special” recipe.
Not this year, though. I knew I was going to try a Sticky Toffee Dates Cake this year. Sticky Toffee Dates Cake is a traditional British dessert which has a Dates cake with caramel sauce. Most of my searches for sticky cake lead me to cakes with sauces except one.
The thing is, the picture of the cake in the original recipe got me hooked. If you check it out, it’s nothing fancy actually it’s just the opposite of fancy, just plain and simple, straight to the point. It shows the texture of the cake and I just loved it.
One of our friends gave us some really good dates a few months ago and I was saving them for this cake. Since the dates were really good, I was hoping this recipe works out for me. You see, I didn't want to go my precious dates to waste.
I’m really happy that I saved those dates for this cake. The cake was really good, if I say so myself. We loved everything about it. The texture, the flavour, the taste, the toffee dates bit… So, if you are planning to bake only one cake for Christmas, I strongly recommend you to bake this one. Make sure you use the best quality dates, since the texture and taste depends on the dates you use.
Well, if you are not fond of dates, check out this Christmas Cake roundup to see some other great cake recipes. Also, if you are looking for a typical Sticky Dates cake with sauce, check out this Self – Saucing Dates Cake recipe, it’s eggless too. Also, it’s one of my fav dessert recipe.
