    • 2g (1 tsp) ground cinnamon
    • 160g brown sugar
    • 50g salted butter, melted

    Instructions

    1

    For the date and walnut base, preheat the oven to 180°C. Whisk the flour, ground cinnamon and 160g brown sugar together in a large bowl. Fold in the 50g melted butter and milk. Add the chopped dates and stir until well combined.

    2

    Pour the batter into an ovenproof bowl (about 29cm diameter x 20cm height), filling the bowl up to ¾ of the way. Set aside.

    3

    For the sauce, place the boiling water, 125g brown sugar and 40g butter in a small pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and pour the sauce over the back of a metal spoon onto the date and walnut base. Top with the chopped walnuts.

    4

    Bake in the preheated oven, about 30 minutes.

    5

    Serve with the custard alongside, if desired.
