Name: Sticky Date Pudding
Ingredients: 1 c Butter; (2 sticks) divided plus extra to prepare pan; 8 oz Pitted dates; chopped; 1 ts Baking soda; 5 tb Granulated sugar; 2 Eggs; 1 1/4 c All-purpose flour; 1/2 ts Salt; 1 ts Vanilla; divided; 1 3/4 tb Baking powder; 1/4 c Heavy cream; 1/2 c Plus; 1 tb Packed brown sugar; Whipped cream; optional

An infinite sin deserves an infinite punishment because it receives its aggravation from the dignity of the person against whom it is committed. So the sufferings of Christ, though finite in regard of His human nature, received an infinite value from the infiniteness of His person, equivalent to the debts of all that come to Him. Sin is finite in regard to this subject, infinite in regard to the great God against whom it is. The sufferings of Christ are infinite in regard of the subject and infinitely please the Governor of the world unto whom the offering is made.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch, high-sided baking pan. Place
dates in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer
and cook for 3 minutes. Add baking soda and set aside. In a bowl, beat 1/2
cup butter with sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Gently
fold in flour, salt and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Slowly stir in baking powder
and 1/4 cup of date cooking liquid; cake mixture should resemble thick
pancake batter. Stir in drained dates. (Discard remaining date cooking
liquid.) Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until cooked in the center.
Meanwhile, make the sauce by combining remaining 1/2 cup butter, heavy
cream, brown sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Bring to a boil,
reduce to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes. To serve, drizzle some of the
sauce over the cake as it is cooling. Serve the rest of the sauce
separately. Garnish with whipped cream. Yield: 10 servings.
