Sticky Toffee Pudding

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dates

    In a bowl, combine the chopped dates and boiling water. Let it sit for about 15 minutes until the dates are soft.

  2. 2

    Mix the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.

  3. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Then, fold in the softened dates and any remaining liquid from the bowl.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pudding

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Make the Toffee Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, light brown sugar, and unsalted butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once the pudding is baked, let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with toffee sauce drizzled over the top and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
