This version is rich with dates. A pudding cake with caramel sauce served over the top.
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups pitted, chopped dates
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ cup boiling water
- 1/3 cup butter
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 1/8 cups self-rising flour
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 2/3 cup evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
Step 2
In a small bowl combine the dates and baking soda. Pour enough boiling water over the dates to just cover them.
Step 3
Cream 1/3 cup of butter with the white sugar until light. Beat in the eggs and mix well to combine.
Step 4
Add the flour and date mixture (including water) to the egg mixture and fold to combine. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until a tester comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool slightly and prepare the sauce.
Step 6
To Make Caramel Sauce: In a small saucepan combine the brown sugar, 1/3 cup butter, and evaporated milk. Cook over medium heat and bring to boil. Turn heat down and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Pour the sauce over individual servings of warm cake.
