Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Place the dates, bicarb soda and boiling water in a heat-proof bowl. Leave dates to soak, uncovered for 15 minutes. Once tender, use a food processor or stick blender to process until smooth.
- Using an electric mixer combine sugar, butter and vanilla until light and creamy.
- Add in eggs one at a time, beating until combined.
- Fold through self raising flour and date mixture.
- Transfer to a lined baking tin and bake for 40-45 minutes (skewer should come out clean). Leave to rest in tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Once cooled, cut the sticky date into squares before pouring over butterscotch caramel sauce and topping with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream.
