    1 3/4 cups  packed pitted dates, (about 10 ounces)
    2 cups  water
    1 1/2 teaspoons  baking soda
    2 cups  all-purpose flour
    1/2 teaspoon  baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon  ground ginger
    1/2 teaspoon  salt
    3/4 stick (6 tablespoons)  unsalted butter, softened
    1 cup  granulated sugar
    3 large  eggs
For sauce
    1 3/4 sticks (3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons)  unsalted butter
    1 1/2 cups  packed light brown sugar
    1 cup  heavy cream
    1/2 teaspoon  vanilla
Accompaniment:
      vanilla ice cream

preparation
Make pudding:
Preheat oven to 375°F. and butter and flour an 8-inch square baking pan (2 inches deep), knocking out excess flour.

Coarsely chop dates and in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart saucepan simmer dates in water, uncovered, 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in baking soda. (Mixture will foam.) Let mixture stand 20 minutes.

While mixture is standing, into a bowl sift together flour, baking powder, ginger, and salt. In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, beating after each addition until just combined. Add date mixture and with a wooden spoon stir batter until just combined well.
Pour batter into baking pan and set pan in a larger baking pan. Add enough hot water to larger pan to reach halfway up sides of smaller pan and bake in middle of oven until a tester comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove smaller pan from water bath and cool pudding to warm on a rack.

Make sauce while pudding is cooling:
In a 1 1/2- to 2-quart heavy saucepan melt butter over moderate heat and add brown sugar. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, and stir in cream and vanilla. Simmer sauce, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Cool sauce to warm.

Cut warm pudding into squares. Serve pudding with ice cream and warm sauce.
