Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 150°C / 300°F / 130°C Fan / Gas Mark 2.
- In a small bowl add dates, boiling water, and bicarbonate of soda, stir, and leave for 15 minutes.
- While the dates soak, in a medium bowl, using a spatula cream butter and sugars until smooth and creamy.
- Then add the black treacle and mix again. Add the eggs one at a time, making sure one is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Then fold in the sea salt and flour, keep gently mixing until the batter is smooth.
- Roughly mash the dates with a fork and add to the batter along with their liquid.
- Grease a 30cm x 20cm ceramic baking dish well with butter, pour in batter and place in pre-heated oven for 30 minutes.
- While the pudding cooks, make the sauce. In a medium saucepan, on a low heat melt the butter, sugars and treacle. Stir well and add the double cream and salt, bring to a simmer for a minute, take off the heat.
- Once the pudding has been cooking for 30 minutes, check with a skewer, if it comes out clean it’s done, if not put back for another 5 minutes and check again.
- Once the pudding is cooked, take out of the oven, and make tiny holes all over with a skewer/toothpick.
- Pour over half the sauce and leave to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving with extra sauce and double cream or ice cream!
