Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Make the cakes: Grease 9 3”x2” round cake tins using non-stick spray.
step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the All-Purpose Flour (2 1/2 cups), Baking Powder (0.5 oz) and Kosher Salt (as needed).
step 3
Pour the Water (1 1/3 cups) over the dates and let sit for 2-3 minutes.
step 4
Add the Baking Soda (2 tsp) to the Pitted Dates (2 cups) and stir to combine. Place the mixture in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until slightly pureed.
step 5
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the Unsalted Butter (2/3 cup), Granulated Sugar (1 cup) and Vanilla Extract (as needed). Cream the mixture together until smooth then gradually add the Egg (2/3 cup) until fully combined. Alternate adding the flour mixture and dates to the bowl, mixing between each addition until fully combined.
step 6
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans, cover with foil and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 320℉. Bake the cakes until a toothpick comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
step 7
Make the toffee sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the Unsalted Butter (2 cups) with the Vanilla Bean Pods (13 tsp) and Dark Brown Sugar (2 3/4 cups). Bring the mixture to a boil then slowly add in the Heavy Cream (15.5 oz), whisking constantly until fully incorporated.
step 8
Turn the cakes out of the cake tins onto a plate. Drizzle the toffee sauce over the cake and serve with a scoop of dulce de leche Ice Cream (to taste).
