Delicious yet simple recipe. This is the first time I've made date pudding and I'm so impressed. Very easy to make. It's just been wolfed down by my family! I didn't make the sauce though, I just used cream instead. Thanks for a delicious recipe! - 11 Jul 2012
Something else. added walnuts on top of the cake prior to baking. - 25 May 2009 (Review from Allrecipes AU | NZ)
My family and friends loved this! It was so easy to make - and I'm timid about baking for others. It turned out so moist and there was plenty left over for the next day. I give it a 20 out of 10!!! - 06 Apr 2013 (Review from Allrecipes AU | NZ)
