Sticky Toffee Pudding
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Date Mixture
In a bowl, combine the chopped dates and baking soda. Pour the boiling water over the dates and let them soak for about 15 minutes until softened.

Make the Pudding Batter
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the flour and baking powder. Finally, fold in the soaked date mixture, including the water.

Bake the Pudding
Preheat your 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 into the center comes out clean.

Prepare the Toffee Sauce
In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, brown sugar, and dark treacle. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce is smooth. Simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Serve
Once the pudding is baked, allow it to cool slightly before cutting into squares. Serve warm, drizzled with toffee sauce, and topped with candied walnuts and a scoop of sour cream ice cream.
