200 ml hot water
One teaspoon of baking soda
150 grams of all-purpose flour
100 grams of coconut sugar/fine granulated sugar
One teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder (optional)
A pinch of salt
80 ml unsalted vegetable oil
One teaspoon of vanilla extract
#caramel sauce ingredients:

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1
Put the dates and baking soda into hot water, let it soak for 10 to 15 minutes until the dates are soft.
2
Preheat oven to 170°C, grease a heatproof bowl with a little oil. Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl and stir well.
3
Add the oil, vanilla, and the date mixture and its soaking water. Stir gently until combined, but don't overmix to keep the cake soft.
4
Pour the batter into the container, bake for 35 minutes until the surface is brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
5
While waiting for the pudding to cook, make the caramel sauce; cook all the sauce ingredients over low heat, stirring constantly, until it boils and thickens to a glossy consistency.
6
Remove the pudding from the oven, drizzle some of the caramel sauce over it while it's still warm so it soaks in a little. Serve with the remaining sauce and ice cream/vegetable cream on top. Enjoy while warm for the ultimate flavor sensation. Your special treat is ready to be enjoyed!
