The rumour has it that this is the only cake that Queen Elizabeth likes to bake. Well, I am not sure she has been in the kitchen baking in recent years . . . but perhaps when she was a girl, she did like to bake. Nobody knows for sure. But what I do know for sure is that it is a simple and delicious cake! The dates make it incredibly moist.
This Queen Elizabeth cake is a lightly sweet date cake, topped with a brown sugar, butter and coconut broiled topping. Despite the name of this cake, this Queen Elizabeth Cake is more associated with Canada, than Britain, as it is here that it found a lot of fans.
The lovely date cake for the Queen Elizabeth Cake is somewhat reminiscent of sticky toffee pudding cake, but on top, is a broiled butter, brown sugar and coconut topping. The caramel-coconut topping is the perfect sweet topping for the just barely sweet date cake.
Measure flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and nuts into a small bowl. Stir to mix. Cream 1/4 cup butter or margarine and white sugar together in a mixing bowl; beat in egg and vanilla. Add flour mixture to creamed mixture in three parts alternately with date mixture in two parts, beginning and ending with dry mixture.
