  • In a saucepan, bring dates and water to boil.
  • Once the mixture boils, switch off the flame. Add baking soda, give it a stir and let it sit.
  • Transfer the dates mixture in to a mixing bowl. If using deep sauce pan, you need not transfer to a mixing bowl. You can mix the rest of the ingredients in that one pan for easy clean up :).
  • Add butter, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla essence and give it a good mix. Mix in the flour just until combined. Do not over mix.
  • Line the muffin mold with liners or grease and flour thoroughly. Divide the batter equally into 12-13 muffin cups.
  • For Stove Top Baking: Into a Kadai, with a perforated stand inside, which has been preheating for 5 mins on low flame, place the puddings to be baked. Bake for 15 - 18 mins.
  • Bake in the oven at 325°F for 15-18 mins. Check at 15 mins.
  • If using cupcake liners, make sure to bring the cakes to room temperature before removing the liners.
  • To prepare the sauce - On low flame, bring to a simmer, brown sugar, butter and heavy cream.
  • Switch off the flame, pour in vanilla essence, salt and mix.
  • To serve, warm the puddings in the microwave and pour some of the hot toffee sauce on it and top with vanilla ice cream(optional). Enjoy!!

Notes

  • The pudding can be baked in a 6 - 8 inch mold for 30 - 40 mins at 325F. Check if it's baked at 25 mins as oven temperatures may vary. We don't want to overbake the cupcakes.
