yuuagoIt's getting to be that time of year when I'm remembering all the fancy desserts I bookmarked years ago with the intention of testing them in advance of holiday time. Here's one I tried today.
( Ginger and Date Cake with Toffee Rum Sauce )
Verdict: My parents loved it! I'll be adding it to the list of fancy things that I can make if I need to impress somebody. This cake isn't difficult, but it takes a bit of time due to preparing the dates and making the sauce. Fortunately, the sauce reheats very well, so (as the recipe suggests) this is a nice make-ahead cake.
Other info: This recipe calls for 125 ml whipping cream, but the smallest carton I could find was 237 ml. So, I whipped the extra cream and dolloped it on top of the warm cake and toffee sauce. EXCELLENT idea, will be doing that every time I make this!
