Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish or muffin tin.
In a small saucepan, combine the chopped dates and water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and stir in the baking soda. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to soften the dates.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the beaten eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar. Mix well.
Stir in the date mixture until thoroughly combined. Gently fold in the self-raising flour until just incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or muffin tin. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the pudding is baking, make the caramel sauce. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the brown sugar, light sour cream, and butter. Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce is smooth. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
Once the pudding is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm with a generous drizzle of the caramel sauce on top.
Tips:
- Soak the dates in the hot water for at least 10 minutes to soften them before blending or mashing.
- Use high-quality vanilla extract for a richer flavor.
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with sugar for a smoother batter.
- Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added to avoid a dense pudding.
- Prepare the caramel sauce just before serving to keep it warm and pourable.
- Consider using a water bath when baking the pudding to keep it moist and prevent cracking.
- Let the baked pudding rest for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
