This was a really fun, weird recipe, and I'd like to do it again. You make the cakes in the food processor, mostly. There is a surprising amount of dates in them--some ground for flavor and some sliced and rehydrated for texture. You steam/bake the cakes in the oven under a tightly wrapped tinfoil cover. Then you take them out, let them cool. Meanwhile, you prepare the caramel, then poke 25 holes in the top of each cake with a toothpick. Pour the caramel sauce. Let it soak in. Flip and dump the cakes into a plate and pour MORE caramel over the top. Obviously, it's not a healthy choice, but it was lovely and moist and (as the name suggests) very sticky.
