Time 1h5m

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 cup water
1 cup coarsely chopped pitted dates
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 3/4 cups flour, sifted
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup 35% cream
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 1/2 cups unsweetened dried shredded coconut

Steps:

Cake:.
With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 350°F Line the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper. Butter and flour the sides.
In a saucepan, bring the water, dates and baking soda to a boil. Simmer for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar using an electric mixer. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients, alternating with the date mixture. Pour into the pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven. If desired, place the pan on a baking sheet to catch any icing that might spill over. Set the oven to broil.
Icing:.
In a saucepan, bring all ingredients to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for about 2 minutes.
Spread the icing on the hot cake and broil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.

Tips:

Mise en place: Before starting, gather and measure all ingredients and preheat the oven to the correct temperature. This will ensure a smooth and efficient baking process.
Use quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final product. Use fresh butter, eggs, and milk, and opt for high-quality chocolate and cocoa powder.
Cream the butter and sugar thoroughly: This step incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a light and fluffy cake. Cream the butter and sugar together until they are pale and fluffy, and the sugar has completely dissolved.
Gradually add the eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will prevent the mixture from curdling.
Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will ensure that the cake rises evenly and cooks through properly.
Cool the cake completely before frosting: This will prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cake.

The Queen Elizabeth Cake II is a delicious and elegant dessert fit for a queen. With its moist chocolate sponge cake, rich chocolate ganache, and delicate buttercream frosting, it is sure to impress your guests. Whether you are a seasoned baker or a beginner, this recipe is easy to follow and will yield a stunning and delicious cake. So preheat your oven, gather your ingredients, and let's get baking!
