Ingredients

Scale

1 cup date syrup
2 cups all-purpose flour (unbleached)
1 tsp baking soda
3 large eggs (room temperature)
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round cake pan.
In a bowl, cream together softened butter and brown sugar. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in date syrup.
In another bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined.
Slowly add milk while gently folding until incorporated.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
For the caramel glaze, heat heavy cream and date syrup in a saucepan over medium heat until it thickens slightly.
Allow the cake to cool before pouring the warm caramel glaze over it.
