This version of the traditional South African malva-pudding cake comes from baker Umber Ahmad of Mah-Ze-Dahr. She makes mini puddings and uses dates pureed with cream in place of the usual apricot preserves.

Steps:
- Cakes: Combine dates and cream; cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and baking soda until thoroughly combined. Strain dates through a fine-mesh sieve, reserving cream (you should have about 1/2 cup). Puree dates in a mini food processor or blender, adding 1 to 2 teaspoons water if needed, until completely smooth.
- In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together sugar, egg, and salt onmedium-high speed until pale and thick, 2 minutes. Add date puree, then vinegar; beat well.Add half of milk, then flour mixture, then remaining milk, beating well after each addition.
- Place 6 five-ounce ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet; divide mixture evenly among them (ascant 1/3 cup each). Bake, rotating once, until very dark brown and set, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Filling: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring sugar, butter, and 2 tablespoons water to a simmer. Whisk in reserved date cream and return to a simmer. Whisk until smooth; cover to keep warm.
- Remove cakes from oven; cut a small slit in center of each with a paring knife. Working with onecake at a time, pour filling into slit, waiting until it is absorbed, then pouring more until cakeis completely saturated. Repeat with remaining cakes. Serve immediately, topped with ice cream.
