Older recipe books call this tipsy pudding, but it is also known as brandy pudding, as you can taste the brandy.

(8 portions)

5 ml bicarbonate of soda
200 ml water, boiled
150 g seeded dates, roughly chopped
25 ml butter
140 g (175 ml) sugar
1 egg, whisked
200 g (360 ml) flour
5 ml baking powder
3 ml salt
50 ml walnuts, chopped

Sauce

140 g (175 ml) sugar
75 ml water
5 ml butter
5 ml vanilla essence
50 ml brandy
pinch of salt
5 ml lemon juice

Heat the oven to 190˚C. Dissolve the bicarbonate of soda in the water, pour over chopped dates and allow to cool. Cream butter, sugar and egg until light and creamy. Sift dry ingredients together into a mixing bowl. Mix all the ingredients well. Spoon mixture into a greased square ovenproof dish of about 23 cm. Put in warm oven and bake 30-40 minutes. Test the pudding with a testing pen to make sure it is cooked. Make the sauce while the pudding is in the oven. Mix the water and sugar in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add butter. Now add the essence, brandy, salt and lemon juice. Pour the warm syrup over the pudding as soon as it comes out of the oven. Serve with whipped cream.
