This handy freezer-friendly sticky date dessert is your licence to chill - and thrill!
Ingredients
- 1½ cups roughly chopped pitted dried dates
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 100g butter, softened
- ¾ cup caster sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1⅓ cups self-raising flour
- ¾ cup pecan nuts, toasted, chopped
- Butterscotch sauce (see related recipe) and double cream, to serve
Instructions
- Step 1:
- Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Grease a 6cm-deep, 22cm (base) round cake pan. Line base with baking paper.
- Step 2:
- Combine dates and 1¾ cups cold water in a saucepan. Bring to the boil over medium heat. Remove from heat. Stir in bicarbonate of soda. Cover. Stand for 5 minutes. Process mixture until smooth.
- Step 3:
- Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until combined. Add eggs, 1 at a time (mixture will curdle at this stage). Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Stir in flour, then pecans and date mixture. Pour mixture into prepared pan.
- Step 4:
- Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted in centre comes out clean. Stand for 10 minutes. Turn onto a wire rack to cool. Serve with sauce and cream.
