Sticky Date Bundt Cake with Toffee Sauce




How pretty is this Bundt Tin from Nordic Ware ?  As you have probably guessed I have a little addiction to pretty, pretty Bundt tins.  I have another one being posted to me as we speak!  Thank you in advance Mum for the Birthday present!  The new Crown Bundt tin which is not available in Australia yet, is on it's way to me..... 

Watch this space on the Crown Bundt tin.....

#Bundtstagram


300gm Pitted Dates
1 1/2 teaspoons bi carb soda
1 1/2 cup boiling water
150gm butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cup self raising flour
3 eggs

150gm butter
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup cream  



Roughly chop your dates.


In a bowl combine your dates, bi carb and boiling water and set aside for 5 minutes.


Pour the Date mixture into your food processor, add the butter and sugar.


Blitz until you have a smooth paste.


Add the eggs and flour and blitz until smooth.  Remember to scrape down the sides to ensure all is combined.  Pour into your greased and floured cake tin.  Bake at 180C for 40 to 50 minutes or until cake skewer comes out clean.  If serving straight away allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before turning out.  This cake does keep at room temperature in an airtight container for up to a week.


Prepare the toffee sauce by placing butter, sugar and cream into a saucepan and heat over low flame until combined and sauce comes to a simmer.


The sauce can be kept in the fridge for up to a week and reheated when needed.

  3. Absolutely love the bundt tin, Kate! It's so pretty. My only fear would be if the cake would come out of it properly! You obviously avoided that, as this cake both looks and sounds so very delicious!

    1. Thanks Lisa :) you would be surprised at how easy it is to use. You can either use some cake release spray or with a pastry brush brush it with butter then flour it or if you have a recipe for your own cake pan goop you can brush that on (just like brush on cake release spray).

      I have my Bundt tins hung on a wall in the kitchen so they double as pretty kitchen wall art :D
