Total Time: 1 hr 15 mins

Ingredients:

1 cup chopped Pitted Dates
3/4 cup Boiling Water
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
6 tbsp Butter
3/4 cup Sugar
1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Beaten Egg
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Salt
1.5 cups Plain Flour/Maida
2 tbsp Milk
1/3 cup Jaggery Powder
3 tbsp Butter

Step 1 – Dates Pre-Preparation:

Get a pan and add one cup of chopped pitted dates. Pour 3/4 cup of boiling water and mix 1/2 tsp of baking soda. Turn on the flame with medium heat and heat gently for 5 minutes till the dates become soft. Keep this mixture aside for later use.

Step 2 – Making Cake Batter:

Take a bowl and 6 tbsp of butter. Add 3/4 cup of sugar and mix until it turns light and fluffy. Add 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract, one beaten egg, dates mixture as you made earlier, and mix it well.

Add 1 tsp of baking powder, 1/4 tsp of salt, 1.5 cups of plain flour/maida, and mix it well evenly by folding in the flour using a spoon.

Grease a cake pan with either butter. Sprinkle some flour over it. Swirl the pan to get coated with flour on all sides. Pour the cake batter into the greased cake pan and tap it to avoid air bubbles. The cake batter is ready for the baking process.

Step 3 – Making Cake:

Place a small stand in a heavy bottom pan, preheat the pan with medium heat, and let it heat for 5 minutes with a covered lid. Once heated up, place the cake pan over the stand. Cover the top with the lid and cook it for 50 to 55 minutes with low heat. Please turn off the flame and let it cool down. Now, the cake is ready, and you top it with toffee sauce in the next step. Don’t place the cake on another vessel. Let it be in the same cake pan.

Step 4 – Making Toffee Sauce and Cake:

Get another pan and add 2 tbsp of milk. Put 1/3 cup of jaggery powder, 3 tbsp of butter, and heat gently until the butter gets melted. Simmer for 2 minutes, and turn off the flame as the toffee sauce is ready.

Get the cake pan and prick all over the top surface of the cake with a fork. Pour the hot toffee sauce evenly over the surface and let it cool down. Now, the toffee cake is ready to enjoy!
