How to make it

  • Preheat the oven to 180 d C/350 d F/Gas 4. Grease six 1 cup (250ml - 8 fl oz) muffin holes. Place dates and 1 cup (250ml - 8 fl oz) water in a saucepan, bring to the boil, then remove from the heat and stir in the bicarbonate of soda. Add 60g (2oz) of the butter and stir until dissolved. Sift the flour into a large bowl, add 2/3 cup (125g - 4oz) of the sugar and stir. Make a well in the centre, add the date mixture and egg and stir until just combined. Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared holes and bake for 20 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the centre of the cake.
  • To make the sauce, place the golden syrup and cream with the remaining butter and sugar in a small saucepan and stir over low heat for 3-4 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring the sauce occasionally, for 2 minutes. To serve, turn the cakes out onto serving plates, pierce the tops a few times with a skewer and drizzle with the sauce.
