Description
Indulge in the irresistible flavors of traditional Sticky Toffee Pudding, a beloved British dessert. This moist, caramelized treat is a comforting and satisfying way to end any meal.
Ingredients
– 1 cup (200g) chopped dates
– 1 cup (240ml) boiling water
– 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
– 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 3/4 cups (210g) all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
1. – Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9-inch (23cm) baking dish.
2. – In a bowl, pour the boiling water over the chopped dates and let sit for 10 minutes to soften.
3. – In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
4. – Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the date mixture.
5. – In a third bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
6. – Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. – Serve warm with a drizzle of toffee sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated. Top with chopped toasted pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
