Description

A layered dessert consisting of cake made with dates, homemade caramel sauce, and whipped topping. This is always on the menu at my Amish family’s holiday get togethers and while the holidays may be over it’s delicious anytime!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CAKE:
  • 1 cup Dates, Chopped Fine
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 cup Hot Water
  • 1 cup White Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1 cup Light Karo
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1-½ cup Flour
  • 8 ounces, weight Whipped Topping
  • _____
  • FOR THE SAUCE:
  • 2 sticks Butter
  • 2 cups Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Water
  • 5 cups Cold Water
  • ¾ cups Clear Jell
  • 4 teaspoons Vanilla

Preparation

For the Cake:
Mix together the dates and the baking soda. Pour the hot water over top and let set until cool.

Mix together white sugar, butter, egg, vanilla, light Karo syrup, salt, and flour. Add in date mixture and mix well.

Pour into a greased cake pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes. Cool completely, then cut into cubes. (Cake will be sticky.)

Combine the 5 cups of water and Clear Jell. Add the mixture to the boiling mixture and cook until thick. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Cool, then beat well.
