  • Fold in the flour, bicarbonate of soda and the soaked dates.
  • Pour into the lined tin and bake for 45 mins - 1 hour.
  • Check with a skewer and if it comes out clean it is done.

TOFFEE SAUCE

  • In a large pot melt the butter on a low heat and add the sugar, golden syrup, butter and vanilla.
  • Stir until the sugar has melted.
  • In a separate pot heat the cream then add the cream to the sugar mix. Stir well to combine.
  • Bring to the boil and lower the heat and simmer for 10 mins. Be very careful when making the sauce - it can boil over very easily and is extremely hot.
