Sticky Toffee Date Cake

 I've really been on a date kick lately as previously seen here.  That being said I couldn't resist making this sticky toffee date cake for Easter.  Sweet, moist date caked infused with a toffee glaze.  If that wasn't enough you must have it served warm and topped with some extra glaze and a generous scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.  It was the perfect ending to a lovely meal.
