Ingredients

For the pudding:
  • 7 ounces Dates, stoned and finely chopped
  • 9 fluid ounces Brewed Black Tea
  • 4 ounces Butter, softened, plus extra to grease
  • 9 ounces Self Rising Flour, plus extra to dust
  • 7 ounces Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Syrup, (use golden syrup or light corn syrup)

  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
For the toffee sauce:
  • 7 ounces Heavy Cream
  • 3 ounces Light Brown Sugar

  • 2 tablespoons Syrup, (use golden syrup or light corn syrup)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C or 350°F.
  2. Place the dates into a bowl and pour the hot tea over the top. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  3. Grease a 10 inch by 8 inch pan and dust it with flour, tapping out the excess.
  4. Beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl using an electric handwhisk. 
  5. When the mixture is light and fluffy, whisk in the syrup, then the eggs, baking soda, flour and date mixture.
