Ingredients
- 250g pitted dates, chopped
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 1 1/2 cups boiling water
- 125g butter softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 3/4 cups Flour, sifted
CARAMEL SAUCE
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 300ml thickened cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 60g butter
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease and line the base of a 7cm deep, 22cm (base) cake pan.
- Place dates and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl. Pour over boiling water. Allow to stand for 20 minutes.
- Using an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar and vanilla until pale and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Using a large metal spoon, fold through date mixture and flour until well combined.
- Spoon mixture into prepared cake pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Turn onto a plate.
- To make the sauce: combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until sauce comes to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 2 minutes.
- Pierce pudding all over with a skewer. Pour 1/2 cup of warm sauce over warm pudding. Stand for 10 minutes. Cut into wedges. Serve with remaining sauce.
