Ingredients

  • Date Pudding
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 vanilla bean pod, seeds scraped from the inside
  • 8 ounces dates, chopped
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Vanilla-Rum Cream
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon dark rum
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • dash of kosher salt

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 350 and butter a 9-inch pie pan.
  2. 2
    Place the chopped dates in a blender. Pour over the boiling water. Let stand for 5 minutes then puree.
  3. 3
    In a stand mixer, beat the eggs and brown sugar on medium high for 2 minutes. Add the vanilla seeds, vinegar, and butter and beat to combine.
  4. 4
    Add a little bit of the date mixture and beat -- this will bring the eggs up to temperature -- add the rest and beat to combine (medium speed). Add the flour, salt, baking powder and beat just to combine.
  5. 5
    Pour the mixture into your prepared pan and bake for 35 minutes or until the center is set and a cake tester comes out clean. Take a wooden skewer and poke holes every inch or so all over the pudding.
  6. 6
    At this point you can let the cake cool until after dinner or pour over the vanilla-rum cream sauce and return to the oven for 5 minutes (10 if the pudding was cooled).
  7. 7
    Mix the ingredients.
