Sticky Date Cake with Creamy Caramel Sauce

Hello everyone, merry christmas to all and happy holiday. Where are u up to this festive season? I'm stuck in the house with my smelly hubby huhu..but I just can't wait for the new year, we are heading somewhere :)
Btw enjoy the sticky date cake i made last week. Considering i have 2 full jars of date and it will be a waste if no one eat except during the fasting month/days. So I've decided to turn it into something edible (of course la).
Lucky me my hubby loves it so much. Simple ingredients i must say and it turned out very nice except a lil bit burnt at the bottom but after a get-rid- thin cut layer, you can have a lovely tea time with this sweets.




Ingredients:
60 g of butter
1 egg
1tbs of vanilla essence
3/4 cup of caster sugar
2 cups of self raising flour
1 cup of fresh milk
Handfuls of date, pitted and chopped
1 cup of water

Creamy Caramel Sauce (:)

1/4 cup of brown sugar
20g of butter
1/2 tbs of fresh milk/cream (i'm using fresh milk)

Methods for the preparation:

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Simmer the dates with 1 cup of water until soft and thicken
Beat the egg with caster sugar until fluffy,i'm using wooden spoon.
Add vanilla essence
Add in the dates mixture
Lastly pour the sifted flour in the batter.
Lay in the cake loaf or any type of cake tin you preferred.
Ready to bake for 30-40 mins

For the sauce, just add all ingredients and heat up until thicken.Pour on top of the cake and ready to be served.
