Method

Pudding Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dates

    In a bowl, combine the pitted dates and boiling water. Let them soak for about 20 minutes until softened.

  2. 2

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of brown sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. 3

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Beat in the 2 large eggs, one at a time, followed by 2 tsp of vanilla extract until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, sift together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, and 1 tsp of salt.

  5. 5

    Mix Everything Together

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Then, fold in the soaked dates along with the soaking water until just combined.

  6. 6

    Bake the Pudding

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Toffee Sauce Preparation

  1. 7

    Make the Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of unsalted butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 1 cup of heavy cream over medium heat.

  2. 8

    Stir Until Smooth

    Stir the mixture continuously until the butter and sugar have melted and the sauce is smooth. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes.

  3. 9

    Serve with Pudding

    Once the pudding is baked, let it cool for a few minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm, drizzled with the toffee sauce.
