Method

  1. Mix the coffee granules with the boiled water, roughly chop the dates and add 115g to a small bowl along with the vanilla extract and cover with the coffee and set aside to soak for 30 minutes.

  2. Strain the date stock into a blender along with the suet, sugar and eggs and blitz until just smooth. Add the soaked dates and blitz for a few seconds until combined (flecks should be running through the batter).

  3. Pour into a large bowl and fold in the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, salt and the remaining chopped dates.

  4. Pour the batter into a lined loaf tin and bake for 55 minutes.

  5. To make the sauce, add the cream, sugar and butter to a small pan on a medium heat. Stir as the butter melts and sugar dissolves, continue stirring until the sauce thickens (should be the consistency to coat the back of a spoon). Add the soy sauce and combine and then set aside to cool slightly.

  6. Once the sponge is ready, leave to cool on a wire rack. When the sponge is still warm, using a knife poke it all over and then pour some of the sauce on top until covered (leaving enough source for serving).

  7. To serve, reheat the oven to 140°C, slice into portions and warm through for 5 minutes along with the sauce.
