Instructions

Soak chopped dates in hot tea for 15 minutes to soften and enhance their flavor.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
Cream together sugar and butter until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated. Gently fold in sifted flour and baking powder.
Dissolve baking soda, vanilla extract, and espresso granules into the date-tea mixture. Incorporate this into the batter, stirring until you achieve a loose, soft consistency. Pour into your prepared cake pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
As the pudding nears completion, melt sugar, brown sugar, golden syrup, and butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat. Simmer for 5 minutes, then take off the heat. Gradually stir in cream and vanilla extract. Return to low heat, stirring until perfectly smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove the warm pudding from the oven. Spoon a generous amount of toffee sauce onto individual serving plates. Place a slice of pudding on the sauced plate and drizzle with more sauce. Serve any remaining sauce alongside.
