Here's how to make it:  

1. To make the pudding, bring the water to a boil. Add the dates, turn the heat off and let them sit for 15 minutes. Put the mixture into a blender and puree. 
2. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir to combine. 
3. In another bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla. Beat until combined. Stir in the orange zest.
4. Slowly add in the flour mixture until just combined. 
5. Pour the batter into a greased individual ramekins. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. 
6. To make the caramel sauce, heat all the ingredients in a sauce pot. Bring to a boil and cook for about 2 minutes. 
7. To serve, unmold the cakes and pour the caramel sauce over the top. Vanilla ice cream would be a great addition, too.
