Toffee Sauce

Method

Pudding

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dates

    In a bowl, combine the chopped dates and boiling water. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to soften.

  2. 2

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. 3

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    Mash the softened dates and add them to the butter mixture. Stir until well mixed.

  5. 5

    Combine Dry Ingredients

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

  6. 6

    Combine All Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  7. 7

    Bake the Pudding

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

  8. 8

    Cool the Pudding

    Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly in the dish before serving.

Toffee Sauce

  1. 9

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream.

  2. 10

    Cook the Sauce

    Stir the mixture continuously until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce is smooth and bubbling. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 11

    Add Vanilla

    Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the sauce to cool slightly.

  4. 12

    Serve with Pudding

    Drizzle the warm toffee sauce over the sticky toffee pudding just before serving.
