Experience the rich and indulgent flavors of sticky toffee pudding, a classic British dessert loved for its moist sponge and decadent toffee sauce.
Gather flour, dates, butter, sugar, eggs, baking powder, and vanilla extract for the sponge, along with ingredients for the luscious toffee sauce.
Soak the dates in boiling water to soften them before blending into a smooth paste, imparting a natural sweetness and moisture to the pudding.
Cream butter and sugar, then beat in eggs and vanilla extract before folding in the flour mixture and pureed dates to create a silky smooth batter.
Bake the sponge until golden and springy, infusing your kitchen with warm, comforting aromas.
Simmer butter, brown sugar, and cream until thickened, then pour generously over the warm pudding for a delectable finishing touch.
Serve slices of sticky toffee pudding with extra toffee sauce and a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a truly indulgent treat.
Store any leftover pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, reheating gently before serving.
Delight in each spoonful of this irresistible sticky toffee pudding, a comforting dessert perfect for any occasion.
