The story behind

Sticky Toffee Pudding is the epitome of comfort baking. As seen in the image, the dark, dense sponge is generously topped with a glossy toffee sauce that drips down the sides. It is served in a rustic teal bowl, which highlights the amber tones of the caramel, and is usually paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or crème fraîche to balance its intense sweetness.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Soak the dates in boiling water with baking soda for 15 minutes, then blend into a paste.
  2. 2
    Cream the butter and sugar together; beat in the eggs one at a time.
  3. 3
    Fold in the flour and the date mixture until combined.
  4. 4
    Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 30-35 minutes in individual molds or a medium dish.
  5. 5
    Serve warm in a bowl and pour the toffee sauce generously over the top as shown in the photo.
