This is a delicious cake! I double the recipe and baked it in my duet bundt pan. It’s a rich flavor with the molasses and toffee icing. Shared a cake with two different friends and they are still taking about it.

I just got an IP, so I was delighted to see this recipe. I also like to bake little cakes because there are just two of us. First, the recipe directions do not indicate when to add the dates and pecans. I stirred them in after mixing the cake batter. After that, I followed the directions exactly.
The cake is dense, not light and fluffy, as steamed cakes tend to be. It had a good flavor and the frosting was just right. The consistency is a little crumbly, but that didn’t cause a big problem. I would make this again.
