This is a hit or miss when it comes to the kids actually eating it at the end, but Miss Wee One #3 really liked making it. Some of our friends in the 10 and over crowd liked it, all the adults who tried it loved it, but none of the littlest ones liked it very much. Except for the syrup. Oh my. It so good, I made extra to give to a friend that loves caramel because it has that caramel taste to it (it’s only one ingredient away from the Amish caramel<\/a> I make). I haven’t tried yet, but I’d imagine it would be perfect on everything from ice cream to apple slices.<\/p>\n

I think the syrup is the main attraction here and it really takes the date cake over the top, but the cake itself is pretty good. It is a spice cake dotted with dates which really make or brake loving this or not. If you’re into them, it’s a win. If you’re not, just leave them out!<\/p>\n

Sticky Toffee Pudding<\/b> via Baking with Kids<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n
Cake:
\n1 cup pitted, chopped dates
\n1 1\/4 cups boiling water
\n1 teaspoon baking soda
\n4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
\n3\/4 cup granulated sugar
\n1\/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
\n2 extra large eggs
\n1 2\/3 cups flour
\n1 teaspoon baking powder<\/td>\n		Syrup:
\n2\/3 cup brown sugar
\n4 tablespoons butter
\n1 cup light cream<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Preheat to 350, and pour the boiling water over the chopped dates. Add the baking soda and let it sit for a while.<\/p>\n

Mix the sugar, butter and vanilla until well combined. Whisk the eggs on their own to break them up and then add them to the sugar\/butter mixture one at a time. Make sure it’s well mixed each time.<\/p>\n

\n\"Baking\n<\/div>\n
Here’s the water\/dates\/baking soda ready to roll.<\/div>\n

Sift the baking powder with the flour and add to the egg\/butter\/sugar mixture, then add the water and date mixture and mix it up!

Make the syrup while the cake is baking by heating brown sugar, butter and cream until it starts to bubble and crystallize at the edges.<\/div>\n

\n\"Baking\n<\/div>\n
Once the cake is ready, chop it up however you like and then drown it in the syrup. Voila!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
