Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease the bundt pan with non-stick spray, then dust with flour.
- In a saucepan, combine chopped pitted dates and enough water to cover them. Boil then simmer for 5 minutes until softened, then purée.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt for even distribution.
- Beat butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla and date purée.
- Slowly fold in the dry ingredients and fresh orange zest until just combined.
- Pour batter into the bundt pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool in the pan for 1 hour, then gently run a knife around the edges and invert onto a wire rack.
- To make the toffee sauce, combine cream, brown sugar, molasses, and unsalted butter in a saucepan. Boil then simmer until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once cooled, drizzle warm toffee sauce over the cake and serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
