Ingredients

3/4 cup dates, chopped and pitted

1 cup boiling water

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 cup butter, softened

3/4 cups granulated sugar

1 large egg, lightly beaten

For the toffee sauce:

3 tablespoons butter

5 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar

2 tablespoons heavy cream

You can use the extra heavy cream to whip up some fresh whipped cream, or spoon a nice scoop of vanilla bean ice cream over the top.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350*F. Lightly grease a 9x9 baking pan.

Place the pitted and chopped dates in a bowl and cover with 1 cup boiling water. Mix in the baking soda and vanilla extract and set aside.

Whisk the flour and baking powder together in a small mixing bowl.

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Fully incorporate the egg to the mixture. Mix in flour and baking powder mixture. Then add the dates and mix well.

Pour batter to prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 40 minutes.

To make the toffee sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan and add the sugar and cream. Simmer gently for 3 minutes.

When cake is done, poke the top of the hot pudding with the tines of a serving fork and pour ½ of the sauce on top. Reserve some, as it is very sweet as is.

Place soaked cake under a hot broiler and watch until it bubbles, then take it out.

Serve warm with fresh whipped cream or vanilla bean ice cream.

*This reheats well.
