- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
- Grease a loaf tin or medium sized baking dish.
- Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl and set aside. Toss the dates with the 1 Tbls extra flour in a small bowl.

- Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake until well set and brown on top, about 35 - 40 minutes. Remove from oven and turn on the grill.
- To make the sauce, heat the butter, brown sugar and cream in a small pan over medium heat and allow to simmer about 3 minutes, or until thickened.
- Pour the sauce over the top of pudding and place under the grill.
- Grill until the top is bubbly, about one minute. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly. Serve with cream
