Sticky Date Cake with Butterscotch Sauce (Kek Kurma dgn Sos Butterscotch)

 I made this yesterday to bring to a friend's birthday party. I started to bake it an hour before the party started because I came back from town late that afternoon. So I brought it to his house fresh from the oven and poured the topping during serving. It was a hot hit with many compliments including from the teenagers who were there... quite surprise that everyone like it! Actually the cake will mature and taste better after two days but it was good when served warm too. The sweetness is moderate with dense and soft texture. The dates blended very well with the cake and it tasted almost like pudding and delicious combination with butterscotch sauce.

  3. Salam,

    Boleh tahu akak guna kurma jenis mana? Yang Mozafati (agak manis) ataupun jenis bertangkai (kurang manis)?

    Air rendaman kurma perlu masukkan dalam adunan kek juga?

    Lagi satu, untuk kek lapis. Tepung hong kong sama tak degan tepung halus lagi putih atau tepung pau?

    Saya tak ada tepung hong kong, boleh tak guna salah dari dari tepung tersebuk?

    Tk.

    1. Wsalam.
      Along guna kurma lembut & lembab, kurang pasti apa nama nya. Ada kurma yg lembut, sederhana & keras kering kan. Yang lembut tu agak juicy sedikit & selepas di rendam akan kembang & air nya lebih berperisa.
      Ya, air rendaman pun perlu di masukkan juga. Nanti Along akan update reseipi spy lebih jelas.

      Tepung Hong Kong, Tepung pau & tepung superfine agak berlainan sedikit. Kalau takda tepung HK, boleh guna tepung superfine seperti cap Nona. Tak pasti lak tepung pau sbb Along tak pernah cuba dlm kek lapis. Kalau takda tepung HK atau superfine, boleh juga guna tepung gandum biasa tapi tekstur nya sedikit beda tapi tidak menjejaskan kejadian.

      Harap tips di atas membantu. TK atas pertanyaan anda.
