Mix   in the vanilla and then mix in the flour and baking powder.  Add   about 1\/4 cup of cooking liquid from the dates and mix through to   form a thick batter. Drain off the rest of the cooking liquid from   the dates and add them to the batter. (Sometimes I just add the whole   lot together unless there is a lot of liquid).<\/p>\n<p>Put the batter in a cake tin and bake 30-40 mins until cooked through.<\/p>\n<p>SAUCE<br \/>\nMeanwhile prepare the caramel sauce.  Simply add all the sauce   incredients together in a small pot and bring to the boil. Simmer for   3 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>TO SERVE<br \/>\nWhen you take the cake out of the oven cut a cross in the middle and   then drizzle sauce into the cross and all over the top of the cake.    Allow to soak into the cake while hot.  Save a little sauce for serving. Serve hot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yum!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[10],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.janandira.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.janandira.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.janandira.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.janandira.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.janandira.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=49"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.janandira.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.janandira.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=49"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.janandira.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=49"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.janandira.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=49"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
