- Whilst chopping the dates, ensure there are no stones or tough skins left behind. Soak the dates in the bicarb and hot water for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 180 C / Gas 4.
- Beat the 110g butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the icing sugar. Then beat in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla. Sift in the flour and baking powder, and combine. Finally, fold in the entire date mixture.
- Pour mixture into a 25cm round loose bottomed cake tin. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 60 minutes (the pudding should not wobble).
- For the toffee sauce, combine the butter, brown sugar and cream in a pan and bring to the boil, stirring occasionally. Simmer until sugar is dissolved.
- Cut warm pudding into generous portions and pour some sauce on each piece and enjoy!
