- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place 1 cup pitted dates in a medium bowl.

- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) softened butter until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

- Stir in the softened date mixture until evenly distributed.
- Pour batter into a greased 9-inch round baking pan.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

- Stir in 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream.
- Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute.
