Amish Country Date Nut Pudding

Kelly
This wonderfully delicious Amish Country Date Nut Pudding is dense, moist, and very rich. Top with a Pecan Praline Sauce and a dollop of whipped cream.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup chopped dates 8oz, 227g
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup boiling water 7.8oz, 222g
  • 1 cup sugar 7oz, 198g
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted (.5oz, 14g)
  • 1 egg beaten
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour 5oz, 142g
  • ½ cup nuts walnuts or pecans (2oz, 57g)

To serve:

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare an 8-inch square or 9-inch round baking pan by spraying with non-stick baking spray. Line the bottom with a fitted piece of parchment paper and spray paper.
  • Put chopped dates into a mixing bowl. Add 1 teaspoon baking soda and 1 cup boiling water. Stir occasionally and let set until cooled. The dates will turn into a chunky puree.
  • When cool, add sugar, butter, egg, vanilla, and salt. Mix well to combine. Add the flour and mix to combine. Add the nuts and stir to combine.
  • Pour into prepared baking pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of cake comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
  • Let cool somewhat. Best eaten warm. Top with Pecan Praline Sauce and whipped cream.

Notes

  • I’ve used an 8-inch square pan but a round 9-inch cake pan would work perfectly.
