About
Originated in Europe, Sticky Toffee Pudding is similar to bread pudding, but with a delicious, dark toffee sauce. This dessert is moist, rich, and impossible to resist. Sticky Toffee Pudding is a scrumptious confection that would pair perfectly with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or any other topping of your choice!
Ingredients
- For the cake:
- 1 cup dates, pitted
- 1 cup water
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- For the sauce:
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup golden syrup
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 3/4 cup whipping cream
Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2 -Coat an 8x8-inch cake pan with cooking spray, and set it aside for later.
Step 3 -In a saucepan, combine the dates and water, and bring to a boil.
Step 4 -After the dates become soft, add the mixture to a food processor or blender and blend until it has a creamy consistency, with no lumps.
Step 5 -Add together the melted butter and the brown sugar in a small bowl; beat thoroughly.
Step 6 -Combine the mixture with the eggs and beat until light in color.
Step 7 -Add the golden syrup, the molasses, and the date mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.
Step 8 -Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to a different bowl and combine.
Step 9 -Pour half of the flour mixture into the bowl with the date mixture, and stir until they are fully consolidated.
Step 10 -Then pour in the remainder of the flour mixture and thoroughly combine. Feel free to do this step in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer if you have either available.
Step 11 -Pour the cake batter into the greased baking pan.
Step 12 -Bake for 35 minutes or until done. Poke the center of the cake with a toothpick and if it comes out clean, it's ready to come out of the oven.
Step 13 -While the cake is in the oven, put the butter, brown sugar, golden syrup, and molasses into a medium saucepan, and stir well.
Step 14 -Heat the mixture until the butter has melted and everything is fully combined.
Step 15 -Mix in the whipping cream last.
Step 16 -Using a large scoop, scoop out as many servings as you can, about 9 portions, while the cake is still warm.
Step 17 -Pour the sauce on top of the warm cake, and serve immediately.
