Cardamom Date Cake with Salted Date Caramel Glaze

I'm sure you can already tell that this is my dream cake

One of the biggest compliments I receive in my work, is when someone tells me that whenever they see a date, they automatically think of me. I seriously cannot dream of a higher honor…

But now… I sort of want you to make this cake and think of me, too. It’s BEYOND delicious — it has a sweet (but not too sweet) base cake layer, that works with the rich and luscious salted date caramel glaze beautifully. The glaze is so beyond smooth and velvety, you might mistake it for lotion. Fun visual…

You can make the glaze in a blender which I find to be an absolute joy, and it’s genuinely such an impressive dessert to whip up, your guests and family will not even know what to do with themselves. I dust with some unsweetened cocoa powder and top with flaky salt to finish.

I cannot wait to see this cake on your holiday tables, and you must let me know when you make it!

ENJOY
