  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

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

Notes

Use soft, moist dates for the richest flavor. Keep the sauce warm and the ice cream cold for a delightful contrast.
