Servings: 9 servings

Ingredients

  • SPONGE
  • 150 g โ…” cup dates, de-stoned
  • 480 ml 2 cups dairy-free milk
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 425 g 3 โ…“ cups plus 1 tablespoon self-raising flour
  • 440 g 2 cups plus 3 tablespoons caster sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 120 ml ยฝ cup sunflower oil
  • 2 tablespoons black treacle
  • 245 g 1 cup caramel sauce
  • CARAMEL SAUCE
  • 180 g ยพ cup plus 2 ยฝ tablespoons caster sugar
  • 60 g ยผ cup dairy-free cream
  • 60 ml ยผ cup dairy-free milk

Instructions

  • SPONGE
  • Preheat the oven to 180ยฐC fan/200ยฐC/400ยฐF/gas mark 6 and line a deep 23cm (9in) square tin with greaseproof paper (see page 17 for how to line a cake tin). Place the de-stoned dates in a bowl of hot water and leave to soak for 20 minutes. Once soaked, drain them and then place them in a food processor or a blender and whizz up until soft and paste-like. Then, set aside.
  • In a bowl, whisk the milk with the apple cider vinegar until fully combined. Set aside for 10 minutes to curdle โ€“ this creates a vegan buttermilk. In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour, caster sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and ginger. Mix well to combine.
  • Add the oil to the buttermilk and whisk to combine. Add the buttermilk mixture and the treacle to the dry ingredients and mix. Fold in the dates.
  • Pour the batter into the lined tin. Make sure to tap the tin on the worktop to remove any air bubbles. Place the tin in the centre of the oven and bake for 28โ€“30 minutes. You will know itโ€™s done when it is springy to the touch and a knife or skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin on a cooling rack while you make the caramel sauce.
  • CARAMEL SAUCE
  • Get all your ingredients ready before you start. Place the caster sugar into a medium-sized pan over a lowโ€“medium heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or whisk for 5โ€“8 minutes until the sugar melts. Make sure it doesnโ€™t burn.
  • When the sugar has completely melted and is golden, turn off the heat. Leave for a few seconds, then carefully add the cream and immediately stir vigorously. It will steam and bubble, but keep stirring.
  • When the caramel starts to cool down, stir in the milk. Place the pan back over a lowโ€“medium heat and bring it back to a boil. It will begin to bubble โ€“ keep stirring for another 1โ€“2 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and pour the sauce into a heatproof container. Once cool, place in the fridge to set. It will thicken as it cools.
  • Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving, then drizzle over the sponge and enjoy.

Notes

Store any leftover sponge in a sealed container in the fridge. Best enjoyed within a few days. You can store the leftover caramel sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a few weeks.
This makes a great second-day pudding โ€“ eat cold or warm it up in the oven or microwave.
You can store the caramel sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a few weeks. It can be reheated to ensure that it is easier to pour. You can do this by placing the container in a pan of boiling water for a few minutes. Just make sure that the container is heatproof. If it isnโ€™t, you will need to transfer it to a heatproof container before reheating it.
