Ingredients
Scale
For the Pudding
- 200g Medjool dates, chopped
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 150g unsalted butter, softened
- 150g brown sugar
- 200g self-raising flour
- 2 large eggs
For the Toffee Sauce
- 100g unsalted butter
- 150g dark muscovado sugar
- 150ml heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Dates: Chop the Medjool dates and soak them in boiling water with baking soda. This softens the dates and helps create the luscious moistness essential to the pudding.
- Make the Sponge Batter: Cream the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then gently fold in the sifted self-raising flour. Stir in the softened dates along with any soaking liquid until you have a rich, combined batter.
- Bake the Pudding: Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 30-35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean but the pudding remains moist.
- Prepare the Toffee Sauce: While the pudding is baking, melt butter, dark muscovado sugar, and heavy cream together over low heat. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens to a smooth, deep amber color with a luxurious consistency.
- Serve Warm: Slice the pudding and generously pour the warm toffee sauce over each portion, allowing the sauce to soak into the sponge for a melt-in-your-mouth experience.
Notes
- Use fresh, soft dates for better texture and flavor.
- Do not overbake the pudding to keep it moist and tender.
- Cook the toffee sauce on low heat while stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Let the pudding rest slightly before adding the sauce to maximize absorption without sogginess.
- Choose high-quality butter, sugar, and cream for the richest taste.
