How to Make Australian Sticky Date Pudding

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Combine the chopped dates and boiling water in a bowl. Let it stand for 10 minutes to soften the dates.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the melted butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in the softened date mixture.
  8. Add the hot water and gently fold it into the batter.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  10. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  11. While the pudding is baking, prepare the sauce: In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, and boiling water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and butter are melted and the sauce is smooth.
  12. Once the pudding is baked, immediately pour the hot sauce over the top.
  13. Let the pudding stand for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
