  1. Heat the oven to 180°C (350°F, gas mark 4). Lightly grease a 19cm (7½in) square cake tin and line the base with baking paper.

  2. Roughly chop the dates. Place them in a small pan with 200ml (7 fl oz) of water and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Stir in the bicarbonate of soda.

  3. Place the flour, sugar, spread, egg whites and vanilla in a bowl and beat until blended and thick. Stir in the dates then spoon the mixture into the cake tin and level the surface. Bake for 35-40 minutes until well risen and firm.

  4. To make the sauce, place the sugar, syrup and fromage frais in a pan and heat until melted and smooth, stirring. Cut the pudding into squares and serve with the sauce spooned over.
