Follow The Directions

01

Step

Combine dates and hot brewed tea in a bowl; set aside to soak and soften for 15 minutes.

02

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

03

Step

In a large mixing bowl, cream together 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of white sugar and 0.5 cup of softened butter until the mixture is light and fluffy. (5-7 minutes)

04

Step

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.

05

Step

Sift together the flour and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

06

Step

Add the baking soda, vanilla extract, and instant espresso granules to the date-tea mixture. Stir to dissolve the baking soda.

07

Step

Pour the date mixture into the batter and gently stir until everything is evenly distributed. The batter should have a soft, dropping consistency.

08

Step

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.

09

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (60-90 minutes).

10

Step

While the pudding is baking, prepare the toffee sauce. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon of white sugar, 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon of golden syrup, and 0.5 cup of butter.

11

Step

Melt the ingredients together over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. (5 minutes).

12

Step

Simmer the sauce gently for 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly. Remove from heat.

13

Step

Gradually stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until the sauce is smooth and glossy. (2-3 minutes)

14

Step

Return the sauce to low heat and stir until heated through. Do not boil.

15

Step

Once the pudding is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly in the pan. (10 minutes)

16

Step

Invert the pudding onto a serving plate. Poke holes in the top of the pudding with a skewer.

17

Step

Spoon some of the warm toffee sauce over the pudding, allowing it to soak into the holes. Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side.

For an extra depth of flavor, try using dark brown sugar in the toffee sauce.
Serve with a dollop of vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream for the ultimate indulgence.
The pudding can be made a day ahead and reheated gently before serving. The sauce can also be made in advance and reheated.
If you don't have golden syrup, you can substitute with light corn syrup or honey, but the flavor will be slightly different.
