Equipment

  • 20 cm cake tin

  • mixing bowls

  • saucepan

Ingredients

  • Cake:

  • 190g Gem plain flour

  • 1 tsp Gem Bread Soda

  • 1½ tsp allspice

  • 2 eggs

  • 150g Gem caster sugar

  • 100g butter, melted

  • 2 tbsp brandy

  • 1 tbsp honey

  • 1 orange, zest and juice

  • 200g Gem Gourmet chopped dates

  • 100g Gem desiccated coconut

  • 50g Gem chopped walnuts

  • Toffee sauce:

  • 110g butter

  • 175g Gem soft dark brown sugar

  • 100g Gem caster sugar

  • 300g golden syrup

  • 250ml cream

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • To serve:

  • Whipped cream

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 160˚C/140˚C fan/gas mark 3 and grease and line a 20cm cake tin.
2
Sift together the flour, bicarbonate of soda and allspice and set aside. Beat the eggs and sugar until pale and creamy.
3
Beat in the melted butter, brandy, honey and orange zest and juice. Stir in the flour mixture until combined.
4
Fold through the dates, coconut and walnuts.
5
Pour into the tin and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
6
To make the toffee sauce, place the butter, sugars and golden syrup into a saucepan and melt gently over a low heat. Simmer for five minutes, then remove from the heat and gradually stir in the cream and vanilla. Return to the heat and stir for 2-3 minutes until the sauce is smooth.
7
Transfer the slightly warm cake to a serving dish and poke holes into the top. Spoon some of the sauce over and leave to sit for a few minutes.
8
Serve warm or at room temperature with extra toffee sauce and whipped cream.
