Date cake is very easy to make. Just mix all the ingredients to make the cake batter, then transfer to a mold for baking. Once baked, poke holes over the cake and pour the homemade toffee sauce. This will let the cake absorb the glaze.

Serve it with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping and more toffee sauce for a delicious dessert treat.
