Sticky Date Cake
A number of months ago I wrote about the builders getting through mounds of cake while fixing my snag list and my foolproof 175 cake. recipe which can be adapted for a range of ingredients and had received many compliments
What I didn’t say was that one of the greatest compliments came for a cake I had not even baked. A super sticky date cake made by Nicks mum. I seem to be surrounded by talented multitasking women, not only can my mum throw together a spread to feed a 30 piece South African girls choir – before participating in a choir workshop and performance with them.
Nick’s mums specialty is desserts, rum and raisin ice cream so alcoholic it could take down Keith Richards , triple layer chocolate torte & bakewell pudding. So I should have known the cake was good, but the roofers declared it the Best Cake they had ever eaten and it really is
super sticky from the outset it’s hard to believe that the little toffee bites are actually relatively healthy dates. I am not promising this can count as your five a day but it is pretty virtuous working
