How to Make English Sticky Toffee Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. Finely chop 12 oz (340g) pitted dates.
  3. In a saucepan, combine chopped dates with 1 cup (240ml) boiling water. Stir well.
  4. Add 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the date mixture. Let soak for 5 minutes.
  5. In a large bowl, cream together 6 oz (170g) softened unsalted butter and 1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  6. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, until well combined.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  9. Stir in the soaked date mixture until evenly distributed.
  10. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Check at 30 minutes.
  11. While the pudding bakes, prepare the sauce:
  12. In a saucepan, melt 2 oz (57g) unsalted butter over medium heat.
  13. Stir in 1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar and 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream. Bring to a boil.
  14. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes velvety.
  15. Once the pudding is baked, let it cool slightly. Pour the cooled toffee sauce over the warm pudding.
  16. Microwave for 20 seconds to warm the sauce and pudding together.
  17. Serve warm, topped with a dollop of whipped cream or cool whip. Enjoy!
