Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius.

In a bowl, add 1 cup of dates and pour in 1 cup of boiling water and 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda. Mash the dates and set aside.

In another bowl, add 2 eggs, 3/4 cup of dark brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of soft butter. Cream together.

Sift in 1.5 cups of cake flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well.

Fold in the mashed dates mixture into the batter.

Grease a round porridge dish and pour the batter into it.

Bake in the oven at 175 degrees Celsius for 40 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness.

For the toffee sauce, in a pot, melt 3 tablespoons of butter, then add 3/4 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 cup of cream. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens.

Once the pudding is baked, poke holes in it and pour the toffee sauce over the top, allowing it to seep in.
