1
Put the dates in a mixing bowl and add 100ml boiling water. Soak for 20 mins, then mash with a fork.

Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Grease a 20cm x 15cm baking dish with a little oil.
3
In a separate bowl, beat together the oil, eggs, flour, bicarb, demerara sugar and 1tsp of the vanilla extract.
4
Stir the mashed dates into the pudding mixture until just combined. Pour into the baking dish and bake for 30-35 mins or until the centre springs back when lightly pressed.
5
For the toffee sauce, heat the remaining vanilla, dark brown sugar and syrup in a pan on low, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to a simmer.
6
Take the pan off the heat, then stir in the crème fraîche until smooth.
7
Pour the toffee sauce over the pudding. Serve with the custard.
