Best Kept Secrets for Planning

Best Western The exact origins of
this popular dessert, a combination
of dates, brown sugar, and toffee
sauce, may be in dispute, but it's
undoubtedly British and undoubtedly
delicious. What to buy: Medjools
are our favorite dates to use in
this recipe, though other kinds
would work if you are having a hard
time finding Medjools. Game plan:
Have all the cake ingredients at
room temperature before beginning.
For a slacker solution, leave off
the toffee sauce and either
substitute high-quality,
store-bought toffee or homemade
caramel sauce, or serve with a
splash of bourbon, a drizzle of
heavy cream, a scoop of ice cream,
or a dollop of creme fraiche. This
