Method

  • 1.
    Preheat oven to 160°C. Generously grease a 24cm bundt pan.
  • 2.
    Place dates, Cointreau and 1/4 cup (60ml) boiling water in a bowl and set aside for 10 minutes to soften. Add cocoa powder and, using a stick blender, blend until smooth. Set aside.
  • 3.
    Combine flour, sugar and spices in a large bowl. Add eggs, vanilla, milk, sour cream and butter, and whisk until smooth. Whisk one-third of the flour mixture into the date mixture. Place half of the plain mixture in the prepared pan. Top with spoonfuls of date mixture, then top with remaining plain mixture. Smooth the top. Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
  • 4.
    Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • 5.
    For the icing, mix together all ingredients and 1 1/2 tbs water.
  • 6.
    Spoon icing over the cooled cake and slice to serve.
