This recipe is great. Really straightforward and great to take to a pot luck dinner because the pudding can go separately and the sauce whipped up very quickly at the dinner! My husband used to say that he married me for my cheesecake, but I think now he's changing his mind.

This is my go-to recipe if anyone is coming for dinner. It's so easy, fail proof and everyone loves it!! It definitely needs to be served with cream or ice-cream to balance the sweetness (and then you can manage to eat more).

This sticky date pudding meets all expectations. The cake is light and a little serve of the sauce divine. We served sitting on a vanilla light not sweet custard .. everyone thought such a generous portion how would they eat but the plates were clean not a smidgeon left! Definitely make again.
Preheat oven to 180°C conventional or 160°C fan-forced. Grease a 20cm square cake tin. Line the base with baking paper.
In a large bowl combine the dates, Edmonds Baking Soda and boiling water. Stand for 5 minutes.
Add Tararua Butter and Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar (or Chelsea Dark Cane Sugar) and stir until combined.
Add Edmonds Self Raising Flour and eggs; mix until just combined. Pour mixture into prepared tin. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until cooked through. Stand for 10 minutes before turning out of tin.
Slice and serve warm with hot butterscotch sauce poured over the top.
Butterscotch Sauce Combine all ingredients in a medium-sized saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved and butter melted.
Additional tips
For a richer flavour and deeper colour use Chelsea Dark Cane Sugar.
Chelsea Butterscotch Natural Flavoured Syrup is a delicious topping for puddings.
Honestly such a fantastic recipe! I made it for the first time tonight, and it'll be written in the family cookbook tomorrow for sure! It's so simple to make, and doesn't take a lot of time. It comes out of the pan beautifully and is an overall great consistency 10/10
