Ingredients

250 g dates, finely chopped
1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
1 cup of boiling water
½ cup of butter, melted
½ cup of brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup of flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of fine ginger
100 g of pecan nuts, roughly chopped

FOR THE SAUCE

½ cup of butter
1 cup of brown sugar
1 cup of fresh cream
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence

Instructions

Chop the dates and add them to your Enamel Series Round Braai Pot with the bicarbonate of soda.
Add the butter and sugar to the dates.
Mix well and allow to simmer at low heat on your gas braai, until the sugar has dissolved.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
Once the mixture has cooled down, add the eggs, and mix well.
Add what’s left of the batter ingredients and mix well.
Cover your potjie and cook further on medium heat for approximately 30 minutes.
Mix the ingredients for the toffee on your side burner of your patio gas braai in the Enamel Series Round Braai Pot and bring it to a boil. Simmer for 15 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
Pour the toffee sauce over the dessert and allow the sauce to drain.
