Preheat oven to 350°F.

Pour batter into a lightly greased 1-1/2 quart casserole. Smooth out the batter and sprinkle the brown sugar on top. Slowly pour the boiling water over all. Do not stir. Bake the pudding 40 minutes.

Nutritional Info Per Serving: N/A
1 cup dates, diced
2 tbsp. butter
1 cup boiling water
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1-1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1-1/2 cups brown sugar
1-1/2 cups boiling water
This one makes a sauce as the cake bakes. I use an extra 1/2 cup boiling water for the sauce so it isn't quite as sweet.
