Pudding
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Dates
In a bowl, combine the chopped dates and boiling water. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to soften.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
Combine Mixtures
Gradually fold the date mixture (with any remaining water) into the butter mixture.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In another bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Bake
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Serve
Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with crème fraîche on the side.
