Sticky cake and date lovers give your attention please! Sticky Date Cake has a very sticky structure and is really incredibly delicious which is especially popular in America. It is no longer a cake but a dessert in itself when served with caramel sauce or Dulce de Leche and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
You can remove the sugar completely if you wish. So you have a slightly healthier cake, but of course, do not put the caramel sauce and ice cream. The choice is yours :)

Notes
- All the methods, ingredients and tolls that are used for preparation of the cake are shown at our Instagram Highlight Story.
- You can make your own vanilla extract by yourself, espeacially recommended if you often use vanilla sticks (because it is realy a speacial ingredient). You can follow Cafe Fernando's beautiful vanilla extract recipe for a delicious one.
- What does it mean to cook a ben-marie? Put some hot water to a pan which is a little bit larger than your cake pan, and put your cake pan into this hot water. Bake your cake this way. With this method your cake will cook slowly and evenly.
- The cake is a very soft and wet cake, please be careful when you remove your cake from your baking pan.
