Ingredients

6 medjool dates , stoned and roughly chopped (see try below)
handful chopped dried apricots
1 tsp ground spice
2 tbsp honey
150ml orange juice
handful chopped mixed nuts
1 madeira cake (loaf)

Steps:

Put the dates in a small pan with the apricots, spice and honey, then pour over the orange juice. Bring to the boil and cook for 5 mins, until the dates have broken down and you have a thick, syrupy sauce. Stir in the nuts.
Cut the cake in half lengthways, on the horizontal. Use a 150ml ramekin to cut out 4 circles from the cake. Divide the date mix between the 4 ramekins, then top with the circles of cake, pressing them down gently. Cover with cling film and microwave on high for 3 mins, then turn out onto a plate and serve with cream or ice cream.
