Sticky Toffee Pudding
Sticky toffee pudding is a classic British dessert loved by all. With a moist sponge with finely chopped dates drenched in a sticky toffee sauce, puddings cannot get any better than this.
Ingredients
- 175 g Dates Finely chopped
- 175 g Brown Sugar Light
- 175 g Self Raising Flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 75 g Butter Unsalted, softened
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 200 ml Water Boiling
For the toffee sauce:
- 200 g Brown Sugar Light
- 125 g Butter Unsalted
- 150 ml Double Cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4.
- Grease a 20cm square baking dish with butter.
- Put the chopped dates into a bowl and pour the boiling water over them. Stir in the baking soda and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Fold in the flour and vanilla extract, then add the date mixture and stir until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- While the pudding is baking, make the toffee sauce. Melt the butter and sugar together in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
- Pour in the double cream and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring continuously. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
- Once the pudding is cooked, remove it from the oven and prick it all over with a fork.
- Pour half of the toffee sauce over the pudding and let it soak in for a few minutes.
- Serve the pudding warm, drizzled with the remaining toffee sauce and a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired. Enjoy!
