For the Pudding:
1 cup chopped dates
3/4 cup boiling water
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Preparation
Pudding
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
Combine Dates and Water: In a small bowl, combine the chopped dates, boiling water, and baking soda. Let it sit for 15 minutes.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Stir the date mixture into the batter until well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the pudding to cool in the dish on a wire rack.
Butterscotch Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, heavy cream, and butter.
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Serve the Pudding
