A tender and moist spice bundt cake with a toffee sauce.
Ingredients
For the Cake
- 3 cups (360 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp (5 g) ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp (2.5 g) orange zest
- 1/4 tsp (1 g) nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp (1 g) ginger
- 1 tsp (6 g) salt
- 1 1/2 tbsp (21 g) baking powder
- 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup (150 g) brown sugar
- 3 eggs, at room temperature
- 12 ounces pitted dates
- 2 cups water
- 2 tsp (5.6 g) vanilla extract
For the Sauce
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar
- 3 tbsp molasses
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a bundt pan with non-stick spray and then dust with flour. Set aside.
- Make the date puree: Combine the pitted dates and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook the dates for about 10 to 15 minutes to soften. Once cooked and cooled slightly, puree the dates and water in a food processor or blender. Set aside.
- For the cake batter: In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, orange zest, and baking powder. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Mix on medium speed for about 2 to 3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs to the sugar mixture and mix on medium speed for about two minutes.
- Add 2 cups (520 g) of the date puree and vanilla. Mix to combine.
- With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture and stir to combine.
- Pour the batter into the bundt pan and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out with a few moist crumbs on it.
- Let the cake cool for an hour in the bundt pan before turning it over onto a cake plate or cooling rack.
- For the Toffee Sauce: in a medium saucepan, combine the ingredients and cook until the mixture reaches a boil. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- When ready to serve, pour the sauce over the bundt cake.
