Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150 g) chopped pitted dates (soft and moist)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) boiling water
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups (160 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (200 g) dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Place the chopped dates in a bowl and pour boiling water over them. Add baking soda and stir. Let them soak for 10 minutes to soften.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking dish with butter or line it with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold this into the wet mixture.
  5. Mash the soaked dates lightly with a fork, then stir them into the batter. Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. While the cake bakes, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and stir until dissolved. Slowly whisk in the cream, vanilla, and salt. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Once the pudding is baked, let it cool for 5 minutes. Pour warm toffee sauce over the top and serve with your favorite ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

[‘Don’t skip soaking the dates to ensure they’re soft enough to blend seamlessly into the batter.’, ‘Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for the creamiest batter.’, ‘Overmixing can lead to a dense cake. Stir until just combined.’, ‘The toffee sauce should coat the back of a spoon when ready.’, ‘You can prepare the sauce a day in advance and reheat gently on the stovetop.’]
