Ingredients
For the pudding:
100g butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
160g Medjool dates, roughly chopped
50ml Kahlua
150g dark brown sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
175g self-raising flour
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
For the sauce:
100g butter
175g light muscovado sugar
150ml double cream
50ml Kahlua
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan/gas mark 4). Grease and line the cake tin with baking parchment.
Place the dates and Kahlua in a small pan with 100ml water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Whip together the butter and dark brown sugar until pale and fluffy. Gradually add the beaten eggs, beating well after each one. Sift the flour and bicarbonate of soda over the creamed mixture and gently fold it in. Add the date mixture (including any remaining liquid) and fold again.
Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until well-risen and golden brown. A skewer inserted into the centre should come out clean. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes.
While the pudding bakes, prepare the sauce. Melt the butter, light muscovado sugar, and double cream in a pan over a gentle heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Bubble for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in the Kahlua and heat through, then remove from the heat.
Cut the pudding into eight portions and serve with a generous spoonful of the warm Kahlua toffee sauce.
