Method

Pudding

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oven

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round baking dish or a 12-cup muffin tin.

  2. 2

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Eggs

    In another bowl, cream the butter until smooth, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.

  5. 5

    Add Dates and Water

    Stir in the chopped dates and the boiling water until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.

  6. 6

    Bake the Pudding

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool the Pudding

    Remove from the oven and let the pudding cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Sauce

  1. 8

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, brown sugar, butter, and vanilla extract.

  2. 9

    Cook the Sauce

    Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the butter melts. Bring to a gentle boil and then reduce heat to low to keep warm.

  3. 10

    Serve Sauce with Pudding

    Once the pudding is ready, drizzle the warm sauce generously over it before serving.

    Plate the Pudding

    Cut the sticky toffee chocolate pudding into portions and plate each piece.
