  • Difficulty: Medium

  • Contains: dairy, egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 40 g Dates
  • 0.5 g Baking soda
  • 35 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 20 g Butter, unsalted
  • 15 g Sugar
  • 15 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 1 g Baking powder

  4. Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter with the brown sugar and cream in a small pan, stirring until smooth, and simmer 2-3 minutes to a glossy toffee sauce.
  5. Pierce the warm sponge in a few places, pour over some of the sauce to soak in, and serve the rest alongside.
