How to Make It — Step by Step
Soak the Dates
Pour 1 cup boiling water over dates and 1/2 tsp baking powder. Let sit 15 minutes then blend into a smooth paste.
Cream Butter and Sugar
Beat room temperature butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Combine Batter
Add date paste to butter mixture. Fold in flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 cup water until a smooth batter forms.
Bake
Pour into a greased baking dish and bake at 180C for 25 to 30 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.
Serve Warm
Rest 5 minutes then serve with toffee sauce or extra date syrup drizzled on top.
Tips for the Best Result
Pour boiling water over the dates and let them soak for at least 10 minutes until they are very soft before mashing or blending, as this gives the pudding its deep caramel flavour and moist texture.
Stir the flour into the wet ingredients just until combined, as overmixing develops gluten and will make your pudding dense rather than soft and spongy.
Medjool dates are naturally larger, softer, and richer in caramel sweetness than regular dates, so they create a more flavourful and sticky pudding without needing extra sugar.
How to Store
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can use any seedless dates, but Medjool dates give a richer, more caramel-like flavour. If using drier dates, soak them a little longer.
As written it uses regular flour, but you can substitute a 1:1 gluten free flour blend to make it fully gluten free.
The first 1/2 tsp is added to the soaked dates and the second 1 tsp goes into the flour, which together help the eggless batter rise properly.
Yes, you can replace the white sugar with coconut sugar or jaggery powder in equal quantity for a refined sugar free version.
