Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 3/4 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 nutmeg
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg beaten
1 package (8 ounce) pitted chopped dates (could substitute raisins or dried currants)
1/2 cup pecans chopped
1 cup hot applesauce
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Measure out cake flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg into a large bowl and sift three times.
  • Cream butter with an electric mixer until fluffy.
  • Add sugar and cream together.
  • Add egg and mix.
  • Add pecans and dates. Mix to combine.
  • Alternate adding a little bit of the sifted flour and spices with a little bit of applesauce, starting and ending with the applesauce. Mix until just combined each time you add.
  • Pour ingredients into a buttered and floured tube cake pan.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes. Mine was done right at 50 minutes when I tested it with a toothpick into the center.
  • Allow the pan to cool for 10-15 minutes before loosening the edges with a knife and inverting cake to a cooling rack.
  • Tastes best served warm with butterscotch sauce and vanilla ice cream.
  • In a small saucepan, melt butter on medium heat. Add brown sugar, heavy cream and salt. Bring the sauce to a low boil and keep it boiling for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from heat. Add vanilla extract and stir to combine.
  • This sauce will thicken slightly as it cools, and will thicken significantly if refrigerated. Pours best at room temperature.

  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Make the butterscotch sauce ahead of time: The butterscotch sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Serve the cake warm with the butterscotch sauce: The cake is best served warm with the butterscotch sauce poured over the top.
