Ingredients
- 200 g pitted dates chopped finely
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 250 milliliters water boiling
- 60 g butter softened
- 150 g brown sugar packed
- 2 unit eggs beaten
- 200 g self-raising flour sifted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 200 g dark brown sugar for the toffee sauce
- 200 milliliters heavy cream for the toffee sauce
- 100 g butter for the toffee sauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for the toffee sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish.
- Combine the chopped dates and baking soda in a bowl. Pour over the boiling water and let stand for 10 minutes to soften.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gently fold in the flour and the soaked date mixture until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the pudding is baking, prepare the toffee sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the dark brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly until thickened. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Once the pudding is done, let it cool slightly. Serve warm with the toffee sauce drizzled generously over the top.
