1. Chop the dates, cover with hot water and leave to soak for 10 minutes.
2. Cream the soft butter with the brown sugar and add the eggs.
3. Sift in the flour and baking powder.
4. Stir in the soaked dates along with their liquid.
5. Pour into a buttered dish and bake at 180°C for 30-35 minutes.
6. For the sauce, boil the brown sugar, butter and cream together and pour over the still-warm pudding.
Tip: Best warm with vanilla ice cream – the dates give that deep caramel flavour.
