Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Place the chopped dates in a heatproof bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda over the dates.
- Pour 1 cup of boiling water over the dates and baking soda. Let it sit and soften for about 10 minutes. Set aside.
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat 1/4 cup of butter and 1/2 cup of brown sugar together until the mixture is light and creamy.
- Add the egg to the creamed mixture and beat until well combined.
- Sift in 1 cup of self-raising flour and 1 tablespoon of corn flour.

- Add the softened dates (including the liquid) and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger root to the batter.
- Pour in 1/4 cup of milk and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup.
- Gently stir the mixture until everything is well combined.
- Grease and line a baking dish or individual pudding molds.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or molds.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the pudding is baking, you may prepare a simple caramel sauce.
- In a saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1/4 cup butter over medium heat.
- Stir in 1/4 cup heavy cream and mix until the sauce is smooth and thickened.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- Once the pudding is done baking, allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Drizzle the warm caramel sauce over the pudding.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
Tips:
- Chop the dates finely to ensure they blend well into the pudding mixture.
- Allow the dates to soak in boiling water for about 10 minutes to soften them before mixing.
- Use room temperature butter and egg for a smoother batter.
- Ensure the self-raising flour is fresh to achieve the right rise in your pudding.
- To make the caramel sauce richer, you can add a little heavy cream during the caramel-making process.
