Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Chop 1 cup of Medjool dates and place them in a saucepan with 2 cups of water. Simmer for about 5 minutes until tender, then mash or puree.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
  3. Cream together 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of dark brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add 2 eggs one at a time, then mix in 1 cup of flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Fold in the mashed date mixture.
  4. Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and bake for approximately 35 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
  5. For the toffee sauce, combine 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla in a saucepan. Heat until it bubbles and smooths.
