Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for dish 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dish 8 ounces Medjool dates, pitted and coarsely chopped (about 1 1/4 cups) 1 cup scalding-hot strong brewed coffee 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt 3/4 cup lightly packed dark-brown sugar 2 large eggs, room temperature

  • 1 stick unsalted butter 1 cup lightly packed dark-brown sugar 3/4 cup heavy cream

Directions

Cake: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter and flour a 2 1/2-quart baking dish. Place dates in a bowl, pour coffee over dates, and let soak 15 minutes. Stir in baking soda.

Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat together butter and sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to medium and beat in eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly incorporated.

Reduce speed to low, and add half the flour mixture, beating until combined. Add date mixture and remaining flour mixture, and beat until just combined. (Do not overmix.) Transfer batter to dish, and bake until cake is puffed and springs back in center when gently pressed with a finger, about 25 minutes.

Sauce: Meanwhile, combine butter, sugar, and cream in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium (so sauce does not boil over) and boil, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens and darkens slightly, about 4 minutes.

Remove cake from oven and pierce holes at 1-inch intervals to bottom of cake with a wooden skewer. Pour half of hot sauce over cake and let soak 20 minutes. Serve warm with remaining sauce. Cake soaked in sauce and remaining toffee sauce can be stored at room temperature up to 1 day. Before serving, warm cake in a 300 degrees oven 10 minutes, and sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5.0 stars       12/26/2019   Just made it. Absolutely dreamy. Followed the recipe to a tee.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 3 stars       11/19/2018   Anything from Martha works with this novice baker. I saw this on Martha Bakes and hunted the recipe down here. I followed the recipe to the tee and it turned up fine except for my taste, I found the pudding to be very strong in baking soda smell. If I am going to repeat the recipe, I would borrow from the other toffee pudding recipe and boil the dates in the cup of very strong coffee instead of adding 1 tsp of baking soda to the coffee and soak for 15 minutes. I think the levening action of baking powder and eggs will keep the cake puffy and light that eliminating the baking soda will not matter in this case. What do you think Martha?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       12/30/2017   Amazing, love the addition of Coffee I think this is what makes it so fabulous. I’ve even converted it to gluten free with the same delicious results! Thanks  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       12/01/2017   I made it exactly as described several times now, and it is reliably straightforward and always delicious. The coffee addition is inspired.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       04/09/2017   This recipe marked my comeback to the kitchen after a long hiatus. Could nor be prouder or happier of the results. People around me kept mentioning how tasty that kind of cake is and I was adamant on making it. The recipe here is less complicated than others I found elsewhere and the coffee is a brilliant addition as it adds richness to the flavor. People that tired it raved.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       09/03/2013   This recipe is truly delicious. We made this, but we had a little twist to it. We made it into a cake consistency. we posted it on our website, with step by step images http://themessysisters.wordpress.com/2013/07/26/date-cake-tamr-cake/ thanks for the wonderful recipe!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       08/31/2013   This is amazing. I followed all of the instructions and didn't change anything. I baked it in a round 9" cake pan. It was extremely moist, but not under cooked. Everyone who tasted it wanted the recipe. It will be taken to many, many places in the future!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/18/2013   I wish i'd see vatterpa's review earlier. I made this as part of the Irish Brunch menu and cooked per the instructions. I worried all day that it was under done.. yes, it popped back up when I pushed down on it, but it remained soupy. "Pudding" is a confusing word too because there is no standard to compare - should it be a pudding like "chocolate pudding" (a thick liquid) or a pudding like Yorkshire pudding (a drier cake). I'm sure it was undercooked but it was tasty. Leftovers went on icecream  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/09/2013   Reaallllyyyy Good! I added a cup of pecans to mine and it was delish. It isnt as molasses-y as one would expect. Just richly dark caramel. Mine baked in a 2 qt cassarole took way longer than 25 mins, closer to 40.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/21/2013   The cake portion is perfect, perfect, perfect! The sauce is really sweet and I wouldn't put it on if I were serving it right after making it. But with the sauce it is just amazing the next day when frozen. If you freeze it in single- or double- servings you only need to let it thaw for a few minutes before you eat!
