Ingredients

  • 175 g medjool dates stoned and roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 300 ml boiling water
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup light golden sugar
  • 1/2 cup dark golden sugar
  • 2 eggs beaten convert
  • 1 1/2 cups flour from our gluten free flour blend 1 1/2 cups
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon of ground cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoon of allspice
  • 1/2 cup walnuts coarsely chopped

For the sauce

  • 2 sticks or 16 tablespoons of unsalted butter cut into chunks
  • 1 cup packed golden brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 280 ml double cream

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350F
  • Butter a glass/pyrex baking dish around 10" by 13"
  • Place the chopped dates and the baking soda in a heatproof bowl and add the hot water. Leave to soften.
  • For the sauce, combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan, stir over a low heat until butter has melted. Turn up the heat until beginning to bubble, then simmer for 6 minutes. Pour 1/2 cup of the sauce into the buttered dish and place in the freezer.
  • In a bowl mix together the flour, baking powder and spices.
  • In a kitchen aid with the paddle attachment (or with a hand mixer), beat the butter and sugar until fluffy and lighter in color. Add eggs one at a time. Add dates and water. Add flour mix and walnuts, stir until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the chilled dish and bake for around 30 minutes until the pudding bounces back when pressed gently, and does not feel too liquid in the center. Do not overcook, it will continue to cook in the pan and in meant to be moist.
  • While cake is still warm remove a square and serve in a bowl with some of the remaining sauce, warmed, on one side and a scoop of good quality vanilla ice cream on the other.
