Ingredients
8 servings
- •1.5 cups finely chopped, pitted dates
- •1.25 cups hot brewed tea
- •0.75 cup white sugar
- •2 tablespoons white sugar
- •0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- •3 large eggs
- •2 cups all-purpose flour
- •1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- •1 teaspoon baking soda
- •1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- •1 teaspoon instant espresso coffee granules
- •0.5 cup white sugar
- •1 tablespoon white sugar
- •0.75 cup brown sugar
- •1 tablespoon brown sugar
- •0.75 cup golden syrup
- •1 tablespoon golden syrup
- •0.5 cup unsalted butter
- •1 cup heavy cream
- •1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine dates and tea in a bowl; set aside to soak for 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line with parchment paper.
- Cream 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Sift in flour and baking powder and fold into the mixture.
- Add baking soda, vanilla, and espresso granules to the date-tea mixture. Add mixture to the batter and stir to produce a loose, soft, dropping consistency. Pour into the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- When pudding is almost finished baking, combine 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon golden syrup, and butter for the sauce in a heavy saucepan over low heat until melted. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat. Gradually stir in cream and vanilla. Return to the heat and stir until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove pudding from the oven. Spoon a little sauce onto each serving plate. Place a portion of pudding on top, then pour over more sauce. Serve remaining sauce on the side.
