Sticky Date Cake

Sticky Date Cake

This cake is so easy to make, kids will enjoy helping.

To make the cake, you will need to soften the dates in a bowl with boiling water and a small amount of bicarbonate of soda. Once they are soft, they will need to be place in a food processor and processed with the rest of the ingredients. 

Place into a lined lamington tray or a round 20cm cake pan, depending if you want a round cake or square pieces. The lamington tray option is great if you are planning on sharing it at a BBQ, pot luck dinner or party.

Bake in a moderate oven, 180ËšC, for around 25 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean. Let cool completely before icing.

To make the caramel icing, you will need a packet of jersey caramels. Melt these with some thickened cream and then place in the fridge. When cool, beat before spreading over the cake.
