Sticky date pudding 热枣布丁


Another cake for friend's birthday-- sticky date pudding! This friend used to thought that Sticky Date Pudding  implies a "Romantic date", hahaha! Well actually, the DATE refers to the core ingredients of this cake-- DATE, but not the date's DATE, you get it now? hahaha!!

I got this recipe from Taste website, pretty nice. It's good to eat it hot =D

Ingredients: (A) Cake: 250g dates, pitted, chopped
                                   1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

                                   125g butter,softened
                                   1 cup brown sugar
                                   2 eggs
                                   1 3/4 cups self-raising flour

                  (B) Butterscotch sauce: 1 cup brown sugar
                                                      300 ml thickened cream
                                                      60g butter

Method: (A): 1. Place chopped dates in a bowl, add bicarbonate of soda, then pour in boiling water. Set aside for 20 minutes.
                     2. Use mixer to mix butter and sugar until pale and creamy.
                     3. Add in eggs and stir, 1 at a time.
                     4. Add in flour and stir well.
                     5. Mix the date mixture from Step 1. with the flour batter.
                     6. Pour the mixture into 8 small bowls OR a 22cm cake tin (greased). Bake at 180 C for 35-40 minutes.

             (B): 1. Combine all ingredients for (B). Cook and stir with medium heat until it comes to the boil. Then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 2 minutes.

Pour butterscotch sauce over the cake to serve. Hope you enjoy baking + eating XD


又是一道做给朋友的生日蛋糕~热枣布丁!我这个朋友曾经以为英文版的“热枣布丁”有“甜蜜的约会”的意思,哈哈哈笑死我了 XD 其实那 Sticky Date Pudding 的 Date 指的不是“约会”,而是这道甜点的原材料-- “枣”。
