Serves 8

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 45 minutes

Cooking Time 1 hour

Ingredients

For the pudding:

125 g salted butter, at room temperature
150 g Muscovado sugar
2 large free-range eggs
1 T golden syrup
1 T molasses
1 t vanilla extract
150 g self-raising flour
1 t ground ginger
100 g Medjool dates , chopped
1 cup water
2 t bicarbonate of soda
vanilla ice cream or cream, for serving

For the ginger caramel sauce:

100 g salted butter
150 g Muscovado sugar
3 T golden syrup
2⁄3 cup Woolworths double-thick cream
a generous pinch sea salt
1 t vanilla extract
1 T fresh ginger, finely grated

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C or 140°C fan. Grease a 20 cm ovenproof bowl or baking dish.

2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar at a high speed until pale and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the golden syrup, molasses and vanilla and mix.

3. Sift together the flour and ginger, then fold into the wet ingredients until just incorporated.

4. Place the dates and water in a saucepan, bring to the boil, then simmer for 2 minutes. Add the bicarbonate of soda and stir until foamy and incorporated. Add to the batter while still hot and mix until just combined. Pour into the prepared dish and bake for 40–45 minutes.

5. To make the sauce place the butter, sugar and syrup in a saucepan and cook until the sugar has dissolved. Add the cream, salt, vanilla and ginger and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until thickened.

6. Remove from the heat. Drizzle the warm sauce over the pudding and serve with vanilla ice cream or fresh cream.

Cook's note: Pour the sauce over the pudding as soon as it comes out of the oven for best results.
