Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup chopped dates
  • 1 cup homogenized milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Sea salt flakes (for garnish)
  • ½ cup butter (for caramel sauce)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (for caramel sauce)
  • ½ cup 35% cream (for caramel sauce)
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt (for caramel sauce)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly butter an 11 x 8-inch casserole dish.
  2. In a bowl, combine chopped dates and baking soda. Heat milk in a saucepan until scalding; pour over dates and let cool for about 15 minutes.
  3. In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. In a food processor, blend eggs, brown sugar, butter, and vanilla until combined. Gradually add dry ingredients while processing on low speed. Add soaked dates and mix until smooth.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared dish and bake for 30 minutes or until golden and set.
  5. For the caramel sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over moderate heat; stir in sugar and salt until dissolved. Add cream and simmer for about 10 minutes until thickened.
  6. After baking, poke holes in the cake and pour one-third of the caramel sauce over it to soak in.
  7. Let rest for 15 minutes before serving with remaining sauce drizzled on top and whipped cream.
