Preheat oven to oven to 350°F with the rack in the middle position. Lightly butter an 11 x 8-inch glass or oven-safe casserole dish.

Prepare dates: Place dates in a small bowl and sprinkle with baking soda. Scald milk in a small saucepan on moderate-high heat. Pour milk onto dates. Stir then set aside to cool, about 15 minutes.

Prepare cake: Place flour, baking powder and salt into a small bowl and stir together. Beat eggs together in a separate bowl. Place beaten eggs, brown sugar, butter and vanilla extract into the canister of a food processor fitted with a blade attachment. Run on low speed to combine. Add dry ingredients, one tablespoon at a time through the feed tube with the machine running on a low speed. Remove the lid and add the soaked dates and liquid. Return lid to processor and run on a slightly faster speed to chop the dates and create a smooth batter.

Pour batter into prepared dish and smooth it out evenly.

Transfer to oven and bake for 30 minutes or until centre is set and edges are slightly golden.

Prepare Salty Caramel Sauce while cake bakes: Melt butter in a small saucepan over moderate-high heat. Stir in the sugar and salt. Continue to stir while the sugar melts and dissolves into the butter. Add the cream and stir to combine. Continue to stir until the sauce begins bubbling, then reduce to simmer. Cook about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until reduced to a thickened consistency. Keep sauce on a low heat until use.

Remove cake from oven. Poke holes in cake with brochette or fork, then slowly pour about ⅓ of the quantity of Salty Caramel Sauce onto the cake trying to cover its surface.

Leave pudding to settle and soak for 15 minutes.

To serve: Sprinkle the cake with sea salt flakes. Cut the cake into 12 portions or simply spoon out portions into bowls or onto dessert plates. Drizzle each portion with more of the Salty Caramel Sauce. Add a dollop of whipped cream. Serve immediately and warm.
