How to Make Easy Sticky Toffee Dessert

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the dates and boiling water, mixing until the dates are softened.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. While the pudding is baking, prepare the toffee sauce:
  9. In a saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, and cream. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is smooth.
  10. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  11. Once the pudding is baked, pour the warm toffee sauce over the top.
  12. Let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
