This is THE STP recipe I use alot. Makes a great dessert, is easy to make and is good enough to serve to company. The only change I made was microwaving the dates and water until they reach a 'jam' consistency then allowing them to cool a little before adding them to the batter mixture. It can be made ahead of time, along with the sauce and will quite happily wait while dinner is being enjoyed. The ONLY reason it would be of a dry consistency is over cooking the 'cake'. Try checking after 30 minutes.

Delicious. I've made this twice and both times it was very good. The second time around I added a bit of salt to the sauce, as my grandma always insisted that sweet things need a bit of salt to round out their flavor. I baked the cake for 30 minutes after reading the other reviews and it was perfectly done and very moist. My children really loved this as well. Thanks so much for sharing it!
