Sticky Date Pudding

I found this Donna Hay recipe a few months back and I have made it a few times now and it has turned out perfectly every time. It is ridiculously simple, so tasty and has definitely become my families favourite dessert! Sticky date pudding is best served warm with a scoop of ice-cream or cream and drizzled in warm toffee sauce. I would give this one a go if i were you!

It's your turn!

Sticky Date Pudding

1 ½ cup chopped pitted dates

1 cup  boiling water

1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

100g butter, chopped

¾ cup  brown sugar

2 eggs

1 cup self-raising flour

Ice-cream or cream to serve

Toffee sauce

150g butter, chopped

1 cup  cream

1 ½ cup brown sugar

Preheat oven to 180ºC (355ºF). Place the dates, water and bicarbonate of soda in a bowl and allow to stand for 5 minutes.

Place the date mixture in the bowl of a food processor with the butter and sugar and process until well combined.

Add the eggs and flour and process until just combined.

Pour into a lightly greased 26cm x 16cm tin lined with non-stick baking paper.

Bake for 30–35 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer.

Cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Cut into squares.

To make the toffee sauce, place butter, cream and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat and stir until butter is melted.

Bring to the boil and cook for 5 minutes or until thickened slightly.

Spoon over puddings and top with cream or ice-cream.

Enjoy!
Eat sweet, be sweet :)
