Yummy cake with orange and honey syrup on top!
- 1 cup, chopped dried dates
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 3/4 cup of water
- 60g butter
- 2/3 cup caster sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cups plain flour
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 2 drops vanilla essence
- juice of 1 lime
- zest from half an orange
- 2tbs honey
- 1 cinnamon coil
Preheat oven to 180 Celsius
Grease a bread tin with baking paper. Combine bi-carbonate of soda and the dates in boiling water and leave to cool. Cream butter and sugar until pale and add one beaten egg, the cooled dates, shifted flour, walnuts and vanilla essence. Shift carefully around before you pour mixture into prepared tin and bake for about an hour. Make sure you can dip a skewer in the middle and get it out dry before you take it out of the oven. Boil honey, zest from the orange, juice of one lime and 1 cinnamon coil for a few min before you brush the top of the cake with the syrup. Cool on a wire rack.
Yum! Hello! Your blog is looking lovely! I think I’ll have to bake this this week!
I love Erlend Oye too. Once I saw him in the city, when Whitest Boy Alive were touring. He’s so cute and has the cutest red hair. He had the best Euro-Chic outfit on. I just stared at him and he smiled at me. Starstruck, was I! The new track by Caribou sounds EXACTLY like Erlend Oye. It’s really great though. I hope Erlend is okay with it!
I found your blog when looking for a review of Kawa in Sydney, I think!
Chat soon!
