Cooking Instructions

Make the syrup by bringing together butter, light brown sugar, honey and lemon juice to a simmer on the hob. Once simmering, reduce the heat and leave for a minute.
- 3
Add the syrup to the cake tin. Aim to use a tin with an attached base.
- 4
Cut the dates in half lengthways and remove the stone.
- 5
Place the dates skin side touching the syrup in concentric circles. Keep them tightly packed side by side.
- 6
Start making the cake mixture by adding together all the dry ingredients apart from the caster sugar in a mixing bowl.
- 7
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and creamy. Add the vanilla extract.
- 8
Add three quarters of the milk to the eggs and sugar mixture. Mix well.
- 9
Add the dry ingredients mixture in three batches to the eggs and sugar mixture. Mix well after each addition. Aim for a mixture which slowly falls off the spoon. If the mixture is too thick, add the remaining milk.
- 10
Add cake mixture on top of the dates and syrup.
- 11
Bake for 60 - 70 mins in the preheated oven (175 degrees Celsius). A skewer inserted into the middle should come out clean.
