How to make

STEP 1

Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 9-inch square glass or 2-quart ceramic baking dish. Set aside.
STEP 2

Melt 3/4 cup butter in large saucepan over medium heat; whisk in 1 1/2 cups brown sugar until smooth. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes or until brown sugar is dissolved. Carefully pour in whipping cream and rum, stirring to combine. Cook 5-6 minutes or until sauce begins to thicken and is foamy on top. Reserve 1 cup sauce; set aside remaining sauce to be served tableside.
STEP 3

Place dates into heatproof bowl; add boiling water. Cover. Set aside.
STEP 4

Meanwhile, combine 1/2 cup butter, 3/4 cup brown sugar, baking powder and salt in bowl; beat at medium speed until well combined. Add eggs and vanilla; continue beating until well combined. (Mixture may look curdled.) Add flour; mix until just combined. Place softened dates and baking soda into food processor bowl fitted with metal blade; process until mixture is pureed. Add to cake batter; mix until well combined.
STEP 5

Pour batter into prepared baking dish. Bake 30-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. As soon as cake comes out of oven, use skewer to poke 12 holes into cake. Pour reserved 1 cup toffee sauce over top of cake.
STEP 6

Let cake cool 20 minutes before serving. Spoon into serving bowls; top with whipped cream, if desired, and remaining reserved toffee sauce.
