Ingredients
- 1¼ cup hot, strong brewed coffee
- 1 pound dried pitted dates
- 2 cups Maskal Teff brown flour, plus more for coating bundt pan
- ½ cup arrowroot powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp allspice
- 1½ cup dark brown sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 Tbsp vanilla
- ¾ cups unsalted butter, melted
Toffee Sauce
- ¾ cup unsalted butter
- 1½ cups dark brown sugar
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 2 Tbsp dark rum
Instructions
- Pour hot coffee over dried dates and set aside to soak.
- Measure the teff flour, arrowroot powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, allspice, and brown sugar into a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
- In a food processor or blender puree the soaked dates and coffee for approximately 30 seconds. There will still be a few bits of date.
- Add the melted butter and vanilla. Pulse to combine.
- Add eggs and pulse a few more seconds until well combined. Fold wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes. This will help the teff soften in texture.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Prepare a large bundt pan by lightly buttering or spraying with pan spray. Add a heaping tablespoon of teff flour and knock around pan to coat. Knock out any excess flour.
- Fill pan with batter and bake for 50-55 minutes. Test by sticking a toothpick in the center of cake. If it comes out clean it is done.
- Allow bundt cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes then turn out onto serving platter. Make sure your serving platter has a lip to catch the toffee sauce.
- Pour warm toffee sauce evenly over cake. Slice and serve immediately. Spoon extra sauce onto each slice as desired.
To make toffee sauce:
- Combine butter and dark brown sugar in medium sauce pan. Melt, stirring occasionally, over medium high heat.
- Bring to a boil. Continue to boil for three to five minutes.
- Add heavy cream and return to a low boil. Boil for three more minutes.
- Carefully stir in rum then remove from heat. Set aside until cake is ready.
- Sauce can be reheated on stove as needed.
