    Time consuming but worth it. Caramel sauce is to die for. Easy stuff to do though, just alot of time. The only way I will eat Dates!

    I really wanted to love this recipe. I usually love Ina Garten's recipes. But it's just way too rich. Between the cake and the toffee sauce, this recipe calls for a full pound of butter. It just tasted like butter and not much else.

    Wow, this is, seriously, the best dessert I have ever had! Don't change a thing. I could not find regular dates at my grocer, so I used Medjool and it was amazing. The simmering seems to make the dates just "melt" into the cake. Even my dinner guests who SWORE they don't like dessert OR dates, absolutely loved this.

    OMG Words cannot describe how amazing this cake is!! If you don't like dates you will still love this. When I made this in two 9 inch cake pans it overflowed in the oven. This is my favorite dessert. I served with whip cream.

    This is one of the best cakes I ever tasted. Soooooooooo moist. It made enough for two cakes. We ate one and I froze the other for a later date. The next time I will make it with figs just to see how it comes out. Thanks Ina and Laura

    Wonderful recipe! I made it for my mother & my grandmother on their birthdays & they loved it.

    CAUTION: THIS CAKE IS ADDICTING! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! :

    A slice of this cake & a scoop of some good quality vanilla ice cream is heaven in a bowl.

    Fantastic! Bakery Quality! Fun to make. Can't wait to have it again. Tastes fantastic with homemade blackberry sorbet, too... I made it in a 9X11 pan, and baked at 350' for 40 minutes, turned the oven off and gave it 5 more minutes....
