Ingredients
  

For the Cake:

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 40 g cocoa powder
  • 300 ml whole milk
  • 150 g unsalted butter softened
  • 300 g Medjool dates pitted and chopped
  • 80 ml hot water
  • 150 g soft dark brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs
  • 140 g plain flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder

For the Chocolate Sauce:

  • 120 g dark chocolate
  • 150 g unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 150 g soft dark brown sugar
  • 450 ml double cream

Instructions
 

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line an 8-inch square baking pan to make it easy to remove the cake once it's baked.

Step 2: Prepare the Date Mixture

  • Heat the milk in a saucepan until it starts to boil. Remove it from the heat, then stir in the chopped dates and baking soda. Let this sit for about 10 minutes to soften the dates.

Step 3: Blend the Date Mixture

  • After 10 minutes, blend the date and milk mixture until smooth. If you don’t have a blender, mash the dates with a fork, though blending will make the texture smoother.

Step 4: Combine Cocoa and Wet Ingredients

  • Mix the cocoa powder with hot water in a large bowl until smooth. Add the softened butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract, whisking for around 5 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy. Then, mix in the date mixture and eggs.

Step 5: Add Dry Ingredients

  • In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Slowly incorporate this dry mix into the wet ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Step 6: Bake the Cake

  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool slightly.

Step 7: Prepare the Chocolate Sauce

  • In a saucepan, melt the butter, brown sugar, and dark chocolate over medium heat. Stir in vanilla extract, salt, and cream until the sauce is smooth and glossy.

Step 8: Soak the Cake

  • While the cake is still warm, use a skewer or knife to poke holes all over the top. Pour half of the chocolate sauce over the cake and let it soak in for about 30 minutes.

Step 9: Serve and Enjoy

  • Slice the cake and serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Drizzle the remaining chocolate sauce on top before serving. Enjoy!
