STIcky Date Pudding

Tweet

 

   
This is by far the best Sticky Date Pudding that i have had. The best dark and sticky pudding.  I make it in two different ways. I bake the cake and make the sauce to serve over it or i pour it over it and bake to make it more stickier. 

 
Ingredients

Serves : 10

For the cake
200 gms – Soft dates, pitted and chopped
250 ml – Water
2 nos – Eggs
65 gms – Butter, room temperature
160 gms – Dark brown sugar
3/4 tsps – Baking soda
100 gms – All purpose flour
50 gms – Wheat flour (i used Ashirwad Atta)
1 tbsps – Baking powder

For the sauce
100 gms – dark brown sugar
20 gms – Dates, pitted and chopped
50 ml – Water
160 ml – Fresh cream
1 tbsp – Butter

 
Method
For the cake
In a large sauce pan bring chopped dates and water to a boil. Add baking soda and mix well. The mixture will bubble up and rise a little. The dates will also turn blackish in colour. Cook this mixture over low flame for 5 mins or till all the water is evaporated and the dates are cooked and soft. Remove from flame and let it cool.

Seive baking powder , wheat flour and all purpose flour together for 4 to 5 times.

Preapare a bread loaf by greasing and lining it with grease proof paper.

Preheat the oven to 160°C.

In a mixing bowl beat the sugar and butter till creamy using a hand blender. Add eggs one by one and beat till mixed well. I say this everytime, keep the ingredients at room temperature, and you will not have a curdled mixture. But, still if the mixture looks curdled add a spoon of the flour that you have ready for the cake.

Add half the flour mixture and half of the cooled dates mixture to the egg butter mix and fold it using a spatula. Mix well befor adding the rest of the flour and date mixture. Mix everything well and pour the batter into the prepared tin.

Smoothen the top snd bake it for 40 minutes or till the skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.


For the sauce
Boil dates in the water till dates are cooked well and soft. Once cooked, remove from heat and cool it. Blend it into a smooth paste and seive it.

Take all the ingredients in a saucepan heat gently till everythng comes together. Add the dates paste and gently boil till the sauce thickens.

Pour the warm sauce over the warm cake and bake it again in the oven for 5 mins, till the sauce starts bubbling up. This step makes the sauce seep in makes it further sticky.

Or

Slice the cake and pour the sauce generously over it and serve.

    Super yummy and health recipe. Will try it this weekend. But just one question is that can we use white sugar instead of brown sugar ?

      Hey Raheen, thank you. You can use white sugar. It might result in a slight variation in the colour and the richness in taste. Slight though…

      Hi Khushi,
      I don’t bake eggless and hence I might not be the right person to suggest 🙁

    Hi Madhuri,

    Your picture of this dates pudding in Instagram brought me here and I am definitely gonna try this recipe this weekend. One quick question, I don’t have a hand blender at home so can I beat the sugar and butter, egg mixture using a whisk? I know it’s a lot of hand work but if it will give the same results, I can do it..

      Hey Anusha,
      Thank you for visiting my page. You can cream the butter and sugar with a whisk. It will be a good work out, but it is possible. Let me know how it goes ?

    Hi, this looks delicious! What would you suggest if I have to make this a day ahead? Thank you.

      Hey Alisa, you can make this a day in advance. Do not then pour the sauce over the cake and bake. Keep them seperate. Warm the cake and serve them separate or pour the sauce over it and bake it for 5 minutes in a preheated oven before serving.

        Would I leave the baked pudding in room temp or in the fridge until I can warm it up?

          If it just one or two days in advance, you can leave it out in room temperature ?
