Description
A classic pudding, with a luxuriously decadent twist and the addition of the Whisky sauce makes this a very rich treat.
Method
Step 1 of 5
Grease a 9-cup pudding bowl and line base with a round of baking paper.
Step 2 of 5
Place dates and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl. Bring whisky and 2/3 cup water to the boil in a small pan over high heat. Pour mixture over dates, stir and stand for 20 minutes until softened.
Step 3 of 5
Beat butter, sugar and vanilla in a bowl with electric beaters until pale and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Sift flours together over butter mixture and gently stir until combined. Stir in cooled date mixture. Pour mixture into pudding bowl. Cover with baking paper and foil, tying firmly with kitchen string.
Step 4 of 5
Stand on a trivet or upturned saucer in a large saucepan. Pour enough water into saucepan until it comes halfway up the sides of pudding bowl. Bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 11/2 hours or until pudding is cooked through when tested with a skewer. Stand for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving platter.
Step 5 of 5
Meanwhile, for the salted toffee sauce, place sugar, cream, vanilla, butter and salt into a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar and butter have melted and mixture comes to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes or until sauce thickens. Serve pudding with salted toffee sauce.
