Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 c plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 c pitted dates
1 1/4 c boiling water
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 c unsalted butter, softened
3/4 c light brown sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla
TOFFEE SAUCE
1/2 c unsalted butter
1/2 c heavy cream
1 c packed dark brown sugar
1 c heavy cream, whipped

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10-inch round or square baking dish. (I used a 10-inch springform pan.)
  • 2. Sift the flour and baking powder onto a sheet of waxed paper. Chop the dates fine and place in a small bowl and add the boiling water and baking soda. Set aside.
  • 3. In a bowl beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla; beat until blended. Gradually beat in the flour mixture. Add the date mixture to the batter and fold until blended with a rubber spatula.
  • 4. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Bake until pudding is set and firm on top, about 35 minutes. Remove from oven to a wire rack.
  • 5. Toffee Sauce: Combine the butter, heavy cream and brown sugar in a small heavy saucepan; heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil gently over medium low heat until mixture is thickened, about 8 minutes.
  • 6. Preheat broiler. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the suace over the pudding. Spread evenly on top. Place pudding under the broiler until the topping is bubbly, about 1 minute. Serve immediately. Drizzle with toffee sauce and top with a spoonful of whipped cream.
