STICKY DATE NUT PUDDING DESSERT WITH CARAMEL OR TOFFEE SAUCE
My sister-in-law makes this for my in-laws' Christmas meal and it is delicious. I added this to my extended family's holiday table several years ago and now I would be in trouble if I didn't make it and bring it to our holiday feast! In the past three years, it has become a new tradition for my family (which doesn't happen often!). My mother even requests this for the Thanksgiving meal. If you're searching for something deliciously different for your holiday meals, you will not be disappointed with this. It is a trifle-like dessert with layers of cubed, moist date/nut cake, cool whip, and candy-like caramel or toffee sauce. AMAZING. This recipe makes one dessert bowl. Doubling this will make it fit nicely into a 9x13" pan and into two dessert bowls.

Tips:
- Use good quality dates: Fresh, plump dates will produce the best flavor and texture in your cake. Look for dates that are free of blemishes and wrinkles.
- Soak the dates in hot water: Soaking the dates in hot water will help to soften them and make them easier to blend. It will also help to enhance their flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cake to set properly.
- Serve the cake with caramel sauce: Caramel sauce is the perfect complement to sticky date cake. You can make your own caramel sauce or use a store-bought variety.
