Baking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.
- Combine chopped dates and baking soda in a medium bowl. Pour boiling water over, stir gently, and let soak for 10 minutes.
- Cream together unsalted butter and light brown sugar with an electric mixer for 3–5 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Fold the soaked date mixture into the butter and egg combination using a spatula.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and baking powder.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until barely incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for 30–35 minutes.
- Check for doneness at 30 minutes with a toothpick; bake longer if necessary.
- Prepare the toffee sauce by heating butter, brown sugar, milk, cream, and corn syrup until smooth and bubbling. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Let the pudding cool slightly, cut into squares, and serve warm with toffee sauce drizzled on top.
