Interesting texture but then again I used light brown sugar instead of dark. I bet using dark brown sugar would have made a difference in the texture. A must with ice cream, pecans and whipped cream to top it off.

This is delicious and even yummier with fresh whipped cream. Not exactly what I expected (was expecting something similar to a chocolate pudding cake, but it was still delicious and my boyfriend had two servings, which is crazy since he doesn't love sweets that much. Will definitely make again.

I think Nigella is great and this is one of my favorite fall and winter treats. Thanks for making it so easy!

very yummy! I let mine sit in the sauce and then when I served it drizzled some remaining sauce on the dessert and the ice cream that I paired it with and it was divine! Pretty simple

Excellent and very easy to make. I only had golden brown sugar, so it came out lighter in color than it was supposed to be, but otherwise it was great. I baked it for 55 minutes, and there was still some liquid left, but it got absorbed while the cake was cooling.

I rarely screw up recipes but this one was screwed from the start. I'm not quite sure where I went wrong but I felt that the directions and measurements were kind of confusing. I'm very disappointed in how the cake turned out (runny and gross!

I didn't have any trouble with the recipe by following it exactly and it came out of the oven at fifty minutes, at forty five minutes the bottom was still too watery. The extra five minutes as she suggests was enough to caramelized the liquid part of the cake perfectly to form a sauce. I've made it twice now and the second time I added a little bit of Apple Pie Spice to the batter to warm it up and make it taste more wintery to me. The addition was fantastic. I think next time I'll try it with dried Apricots or Apples instead of the Dates, though I liked them. I enjoy Nigella's shows very much, this recipe reminds me of the ice cream flavor I love, especially with a little of the spice added.

There is something wrong with this recipe. I followed this recipe to the T and it came out watery and gross. This is not the first time I've used a recipe from food network, and all the recipes come out the way they're supposed to...except this one. I don't understand what she means by pour over the boiling water. Do you pour the cake mixture over the boiling water or the water over the cake mixture...maybe that's why it came out awful.

I had the original at the SPINNING JENNY on LAKE CONNISTON in the Lake District in England 10 years ago. I loved it so much I had a local bakery make it for me as a specialty dessert in a TEA ROOM I opened in 2002. This version is much eassier than the on I had them make but sounds every bit as good. The bakery I used said they had tons of request for this special treat after eating it at LA TEA DAS. I am going to try Nigells version . OH, you don't have to like dates to love this one.
