One of our favorite date laden desserts is Sticky Toffee Pudding. The classic English cake is quite versatile and can be adapted to include other fruits and flavors. One such variation is the Lumberjack Cake, an old-fashioned Australian version of traditional Sticky Toffee Pudding. Enriched with a smooth date puree and topped with a crowning coconut crust, it’s dense and moist and is said to deliver enough energy to power the proverbial lumberjack from teatime to lunch. In our version, inspired by an old favorite from the iconic Donna Hay, we’ve added a tropical twist with crushed pineapple, coffee and a touch of rum. The toasted coconut crumble eats like a Girl Scout Samoa cookie and the salted rum toffee sauce is a savory contrast to the sweet cake. This dessert is rich and decadent and perfect for Holiday entertaining. Grab the recipe from the link in our profile! @juliaheff #medjooldates #fyp
