Indulgent sticky date pudding with treacle sauce and a dollop of double cream. Deliciously easy treat.
Ingredients:
  • 500g pitted dates
  • 6.25 gm bicarbonate of soda
  • 150g unsalted butter, softened
  • 239.40 gm dark brown sugar
  • 375.00 gm self-raising flour
  • 53.20 gm treacle
  • Double cream, to serve
  • 90.00 gm dark brown sugar
  • 40.40 gm pure cream
  • 200g unsalted butter, chopped
  • 83.13 gm treacle
  • 0.60 gm salt flakes
  • Salt flakes, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180C (160C fan-forced) and generously grease a 4.5cm deep, 24.5cm x 35cm baking pan.
  • In a saucepan, mix dates with 3 cups of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in bicarbonate of soda. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then transfer the mixture to a food processor and blend until smooth.
  • With an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugar until they are light and fluffy. Incorporate eggs one by one, ensuring each is well blended before adding the next. Gradually sift in the flour and mix until just combined. Blend in the treacle and date mixture until fully incorporated.
  • Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan, ensuring the top is smoothed out. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. If it starts to brown too quickly, simply cover with foil.
  • While you wait, prepare the Salted Treacle Sauce. In a saucepan over high heat, mix together all the ingredients. Stir continuously and bring to a boil for 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for 3 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
  • Drizzle warm pudding with a touch of the sauce and sprinkle with a dash of extra salt. Serve alongside cream and the remaining sauce.
