Royal Date Gingerbread Cake
There are more recipes for this type of cake on the internet, but most of them are way too sweet. The thin caramel icing on top of the cake and naturaly sweet dates are just enough. You can find this recipe with detailed procedure and some other great recipes too on my newly created blog dommiesconfectionery.com. I will be really happy if you try this and write a review, I'd love to hear your opinion. ^^
