Steps:

  • Cake: Butterscotch Sauce: Melt butter in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat Add the sugar, cream and salt and whisk until well blended. Bring to a very gentle boil and cook for about five minutes, whisking occasionally. Remove from heat and add one teaspoon of the vanilla extract Taste the sauce to see if you want to add additional pinches or salt or splashes of vanilla. Pecans: Lightly toast pecans in the oven (~30 minutes at 250?) Put the brown sugar, water, butter and kosher salt in a heavy, preferably non-stick, skillet. Bring to boil, stirring for 1 minute before adding the nuts. Stir and toss until the nuts are thoroughly coated with a glaze, about 3 minutes. If they start to smoke, take them off before they burn. Transfer nuts to sheet of foil or parchment paper and quickly separate with forks. Dates:
