Recipe from http://www.taste.com.au – Serves 8
I am not a huge dessert person but I do love Sticky Date Pudding, it’s one of my favorites! Nothing beats warm sticky date pudding served with caramel sauce and vanilla ice-cream. The recipe is actually quite simple! I hope you like this one… something sweet for a change eh? 🙂
Ingredients
250g pitted dates, chopped
1 teaspoon bicarbonate soda
1 1/2 cups boiling water
125g butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs, at room temperature
2 cups self-raising flour, sifted
Caramel Sauce
1 cup brown sugar
300ml thickened cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
60g butter, chopped
Method
Preheat oven to 180C. Grease a 7cm deep, 22cm (base) cake pan and line base with baking paper.
Place dates and bicarbonate soda in a heatproof bowl. Pour over boiling water. Allow to stand, uncovered, for 20 mins or until dates are tender.
Using an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar and vanilla until pale and creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Using a large metal spoon, stir in date mixture and flour. Mix until well combined.
Spoon mixture into cake pan. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Stand for 10 minutes before turning onto a wire rack.
Make caramel sauce: Combine sugar, cream, vanilla and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 3 mins or until boiling. Reduce heat to low. Simmer for 2 minutes. Pour warm sauce over warm cake. Cut into wedges. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
