I would double the pudding mixture next time, because there was a lot of butterscotch sauce.Anyway it was very yummy and easy and the whole family enjoyed it (some even had seconds)!

Easy tasty recipe but HALF OR EVEN QUARTER the sauce. Its delish but very sweet and the pudding is already very moist. Will definitely make again.

Made this in to mini loaves, so I reduced the baking time to about 20mins. Worked great! I just got a little confused around adding the butter and sugar to the date and water, but that's probably just me! I'm gonna have butterscotch sauce for ages now though, could probably halve it. Thanks for the recipe!

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.
