Instructions:
-
In a small bowl, combine the dates and 3 tablespoons of sherry. Cover and let them stand for 10 minutes.
-
In another small bowl, mix together the pecans, brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir in the date mixture. Set aside.
-
In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup butter, and the egg with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in the sour cream and 1 tablespoon of sherry.
-
Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add this mixture to the sour cream mixture and beat until well combined.
-
Grease an 8x8x2-inch baking pan and spread half of the sour cream batter in it. Top with half of the date mixture. Repeat the layers with the remaining batter and date mixture.
-
Bake in a preheated 375Β°F (190Β°C) oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. To prevent overbrowning, cover the cake with foil for the last 15 minutes of baking.

Allow the cake to cool slightly.

In a saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons of butter, 2 tablespoons of water, and 1/4 cup of sugar. Cook and stir until bubbly.
