Because the topping is so liquid, consider poking a lot of holes in the cake before pouring it on, because it soaks in, making the cake exceedingly moist. It has the consistency and taste of a traditional English sticky toffee or date pudding, both of which are usually more difficult to make than this. I made this for the crowd at the office, and they descended on it like a swarm of locusts. It's more of a casual dessert or treat than an ending for a formal dinner, although if served warm with some homemade vanilla ice cream, it would make a very nice dessert for a special meal.

I love dates and thought this cake had great flavour. Next time I might not use the topping, as the cake was sweet enough on its own.

It baked up gorgeous and moist, just as the author said it would. And for those family members who say they don't like dates? Everyone wanted second (and sometimes third) helpings. I will use this recipe again. [Linda Johnson] Oooh…this was a delicious cake. It baked up gorgeous and moist, just as the author said it would.

This makes it into an indulgent snack. My family compulsively nibbled at it until it was gone. Good with a cup of coffee for breakfast.
