Ingredients

• 200 grams Dates, pitted and chopped
• 250 ml Water
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda (gluten-free certified)
• 85 grams Unsalted butter, softened
• 150 grams Brown sugar
• 2 pieces Eggs, large
• 150 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder (gluten-free certified)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 300 ml Heavy cream
• 100 grams Brown sugar (for sauce)
• 50 grams Unsalted butter (for sauce)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or similar oven-safe dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a saucepan, combine the chopped dates and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, until the dates soften. Remove from heat and stir in the baking soda. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 4

Sift the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt together into a separate bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.

Step 5

Stir in the cooled date mixture and vanilla extract until evenly distributed. The batter will be slightly thick.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

While the pudding is baking, prepare the toffee sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, 100 grams of brown sugar, and 50 grams of butter. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Once the pudding is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Poke small holes across the surface of the pudding with a skewer or toothpick, then pour half of the toffee sauce over it, allowing it to soak in.

Step 9

Cut the pudding into squares and serve warm with the remaining toffee sauce drizzled over the top. Optionally, serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
