in the latest Australian Woman's Weekly is sooooo good.
It would serve more than 6-8 people though. My husband and I had a good slab each and I have frozen the rest for another time.

Sticky banana and date pudding with butterscotch sauce. Serves 6-8

1 cup chopped pitted dates; 1 tsp baking soda;100gms butter;3/4 cup caster sugar;2 eggs; 1 tsp vanilla;1 1/4 cups self raising flour;2-3 bananas sliced.
1. Preheat oven to 180*.Spray a 22-23cm square cake tin and then line with baking paper
2.Place the dates in a small saucepan or microwave bowl with 1 cup hot water. Bring to the boil, then add the baking soda. Stir well and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
3. In the meantime, using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy and pale. Add the eggs, vanilla and flour then beat in the dates and their liquid. Mix in the banana slices then pour the batter into prepared tin. Bake for 40-45 minutes.
Serve with butterscotch sauce poured over, and ice cream or whipped cream.

For the sauce
1 cup brown sugar; 100gms butter; 1 cup cream.
Place all in a small saucepan and stir over medium heat until it comes to a good boil. Boil for 1 minute, then pour over the pudding.( I did my sauce in the microwave for 1 minute on high and it was lovely)
A while ago when I made sticky date puddings, I did them in muffin pans. I froze what we didn't use, and then reheated them in the microwave, and made a new batch of sauce.

Enjoy!!
