Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5.
- Butter eight small pudding basins (dariole moulds) and sprinkle demerara sugar inside, coating evenly. Shake any excess sugar out of the moulds, and place them on a baking tray.

- Stir the vanilla extract into the date mixture.
- Blend with a stick blender until the date mixture is thick and soupy.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and muscovado sugar together until smooth.
- Stir in the syrup and treacle, then the flour, mixing well.
- Break the eggs one at a time into the bowl, stirring well after each one.
- Add the bicarbonate of soda to the date mixture, then pour into the flour mixture and beat well to blend.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pudding basins, filling them two-thirds full.
- Put the puddings into the oven immediately, and bake for 20 minutes until well-risen and springy to the touch.
- For the sauce, gently heat the cream in a saucepan. Add the sugar and butter and whisk until melted. Whisk in the syrup and treacle.
- To serve, turn the pudding out onto a plate, spoon the sauce over the top and around, then finish with a dollop of ice cream.
