Heat the oven to 180c
Heat the milk until piping hot. Now soak the dates in the milk for 10 minutes.
Mix in the coffee granules and the molases
Add this mixture to a blender and blend into a smooth paste
In a bowl combine the dates mixture with the oil, sugar and apple cider vinegar. Mix until smooth
Now add flour and bicarbonate soda. Mix until smooth
Split the mixture equally into buttered pudding moulds
Bake in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes. After 20 minutes check if cakes are cooked with a skewer - it should come out clean
Allow to cool slightly before pulling out of moulds
Serve with the toffee sauce - best served when both are hot
