The translation is more or less wet sponge dates and toffee sauce toffee? the truth is a bit the same, it is better not to get lost in the translation and get straight to work because you are going to see what a most exquisite result.
To serve, the cake should be a little warm and the sauce hot, nothing that the microwave does not solve in a few seconds. The contrast with a little vanilla ice cream will amaze you.

-To the butter mixture you have to add the flour and the dates, do it 3 times, without manipulating the dough much, with a spatula.
-Pour the final mixture into the mold and bake at 160ºC for 25 minutes.
-Remove from the oven and leave in the mold for 10 minutes. Remove from the mold with the paper and put it on a rack to temper.-For the sauce you just have to add the 3 ingredients in a saucepan and without stopping stirring, wait until it almost boils, then lowers the heat and let it thicken for a few minutes, without stopping stirring.-Remove the paper from the cake and carefully put it back in the mold. With the handle of a spoon or similar, you make holes and add at least 1/3 of the toffee sauce.
