Number Of Ingredients 17

Nonstick cooking spray
5 ounces pitted dried dates
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
Pinch of cloves
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cups light-brown sugar
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons molasses
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Maple Toffee Sauce
1 1/4 cups coarsely chopped toasted pecans
Unsweetened whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees with a rack in the middle. Spray one 8 inch-by-3 inch cake pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
  • Place dates and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce heat to a simmer; simmer until water is almost evaporated. Transfer dates to the bowl of a food processor; pulse until coarsely chopped. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, nutmeg, and cloves.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add eggs, and beat until combined, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary. Add molasses, maple syrup, vanilla, and date mixture; beat to combine. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  • Pour 1/2 cup maple toffee sauce into bottom of prepared cake pan; sprinkle with pecans. Pour batter into cake pan, smooth top, and transfer to oven. Bake until deep golden and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 55 minutes.
  • Remove pudding from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Run a small offset spatula around edge of cake pan and invert pudding onto serving platter. Immediately pour additional maple toffee sauce over cake; let cool slightly. Serve warm with whipped cream.

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for pan
8 ounces pitted dates, finely chopped
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Toffee Sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour an 8-inch round cake pan; set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine dates and 1/2 cup boiling water; set aside to soften, at least 10 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt to combine; set aside.
  • With an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy; add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add date mixture, flour mixture, and vanilla; mix just until moistened.
  • Spread batter in prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 55 to 65 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare toffee sauce.
  • Remove cake from oven; cool in pan 5 minutes. To ensure it will come out easily later, carefully invert hot cake then return it, right side up, to pan. Using a toothpick, poke holes all over cake. Pour about 1 cup warm sauce over cake; let absorb at least 20 minutes.
