serves 12

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups chopped dates
    1/2 cup Calvados or apple cider
    3/4 cup unsalted butter
    1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
    2 eggs
    2 1/2 cups grated peeled apples
    3 cups flour
    4 teaspoons cinnamon
    1 tablespoon baking soda
    1 teaspoon nutmeg
    1/2 teaspoon ground cloves


    Hot Butterscotch Sauce

    Makes 2 ½ cups

Preparation


  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    Grease a 13x9-inch cake pan. Heat dates and Calvados, covered until bubbly; simmer for 1 minute. Let cool.

    Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched in centre.
