Instructions
Date pudding loaf
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F and lightly greaseproof a loaf tin.
- Place the dates into a bowl and top with the boiling water. Set aside to soak for 20 minutes.
- Beat the butter and sugars in a bowl until light and fluffy, approximately 3 minutes.
- Add in the egg and beat until well combined and smooth.
- Blend the dates and water until a paste forms.
- Add the date paste, vanilla extract and milk and beat until just combined.
- Sift the dry ingredients into a separate bowl and stir.
- Add to the wet ingredients and fold until a batter is formed and smooth and no dry portions remain in your bowl.
- Pour into your loaf tin and smooth out on top.
- Bake for 50 minutes until golden on top.
- Invert onto your serving plate.
Sauce
- To make the sauce place the butter, brown sugar, salt and 150 milliliters or 2/3 cup of the heavy cream into a saucepan on medium heat.
- Simmer until the sugar has dissolved and butter melted, and it has thickened until it leaves a thick coating on the back of your spoon when you stir it, approximately 3 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and add the remaining heavy cream, allowing to simmer until golden and it sticks to the back of your spoon, approximately 1 1/2 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and pour into your serving jug.
- Pour the sauce over your entire loaf.
- Slice and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and more sauce.
- Enjoy!
