This is a favourite of mine. The good news is that it's quite sweet so you won't want to eat heaps of it at once, but it keeps well in the fridge. Store the pudding separately from the sauce, and when you want some you cut off a slide of pudding, warm it slightly in the microwave, and then heat up some sauce, pour it over and voilà!
Pudding
Ingredients
200g dates, pitted and chopped
1 teaspoon baking soda
150ml boiling water
125g butter
125g sugar
2 eggs
125g self-raising flour
Method
1. Put the dates in a bowl with the baking soda. Pour over the boiling water, stir and let stand for 20 minutes.
2. Beat butter and sugar until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until light and fluffy. Stir in the flour, then the date mixture.
3. Pour into a well-greased flan dish. Bake for 30 minutes at 190°C (test with a skewer to make sure it is done.)
4. While the pudding is cooking, make the sauce (see recipe below).
5. When the pudding is ready, remove from the oven and coat the top lightly with enough sauce to produce a sticky glaze. Return to the oven for 2 minutes.
6. To serve, cut into slices, pour additional sauce over each serving, and accompany with whipped cream or ice cream.
Sauce
Ingredients
200g brown sugar
50g butter
1 cup (250ml) cream
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Method
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan, bring to the boil, then simmer for 1-2 minutes.

How many lemons do you have?
There's loads you can do with lemon juice, but nothing beats just sucking it raw for that sour citrus buzz (go on, you know you want to!)
