Instructies
Cake
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
Brush a spring form of 24 cm with butter and lightly flour.
Cut a piece of parchment paper in a circle and place it at the bottom of the form.
Bring water to a boil.
Add the dates and 400 ml of boiling water, to a bowl.
Puree until the dates are very smooth.
In a bowl with a mixer, beat the butter with the brown sugar and the vanilla extract, until soft and airy (about 3 minutes).
Add the syrup and eggs one at a time (wait with adding the next egg until the previous one is incorporated) and mix again for 2 minutes.
Sift the flour and baking powder on top of the batter and mix it gently through with a spatula.
Pour the date puree gently on top of the batter and mix it with a spatula through.
Pour the batter in the spring form and bake the cake in the oven for 50 minutes.
Let it stand for 5 minutes after baking and then remove the cake from the mold.
Put the cake on a plate (which is practical for the sugar syrup step).
Sugar syrup
Heat 100 grams of sugar with 2 tablespoons of water cook it until the sugar color has an amber tint.
Turn off the heat and then add the water (pour away from you because it can give hot splashes).
Turn the heat on high again and let it boil for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, prick some holes in the top of the cake with a satay stick, so that the cake can absorbs the syrup better.
Brush the syrup over the top and sides of the cake.
Then pour the remaining syrup over the cake.
The syrup that does not immediately pull in is caught on the plate and will be absorbed into the bottom, so let it stand for an hour to complete the process before you start cutting it!
