Instructions

Sponge

  1. Place the pitted dates, water, and vanilla in a saucepan and bring them to a boil.
  2. Then add the bicarbonate of soda to the mixture. Be careful as it will fizz up. Take the mixture off the heat.
  3. Turn the mixture into a purée with a hand blender. Set aside to cool down for 15 minutes.
  4. Preheat the oven to 160°C - 320° F (fan oven). Grease a 25 cm x 40 cm (10" x 16") baking tin and set it aside.
  5. Whisk butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  6. Slowly add the treacle, golden syrup, and eggs one at a time to the mixture.
  7. Add the dates and mix wells and then add the flour to the mixture and gently fold together.
  8. Pour the mixture into the baking tin and bake it for 40 to 45 minutes or until the sponge is completely cooked. To understand if the sponge is cooked, insert a toothpick at the center of the sponge. If it comes out clean, then the sponge is ready.
  9. Take the sponge out of the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing it up to 20 square slices.

Toffee Sauce

  1. Place all ingredients into a saucepan and slowly heat them until all ingredients melt and mix completely. Then bring it to a boil and keep on the heat for another 2 minutes.
  2. Serve a slice of sponge with warm toffee sauce. You can also add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
  3. The sauce should be used immediately after it is prepared. If you want to keep the remaining sauce for later, you should heat it before serving it with the sponge.
