How to Make Sticky Toffee Pudding W Butterscotch Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. Combine 1 cup pitted dates and 1/2 cup boiling water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon baking soda. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients and the date mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating between the two and mixing until just combined.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool completely in the pan before inverting onto a wire rack.
  9. **Butterscotch Sauce:** In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons brandy (optional).
  10. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes, or until thickened.
  11. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  12. When ready to serve, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  13. Pour the butterscotch sauce evenly over the cooled pudding.
  14. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the pudding is heated through.
  15. Serve warm with whipped cream (optional).
