When I'm looking at a restaurant dessert menu in England, I always stop reading once I've seen "Sticky Toffee Pudding" because I immediately know that is the dessert I will choose. No other British dessert can stand up to it.

Ingredients
- 1 cup pitted dates chopped
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ cup butter softened
- 1 cup turbinado sugar or light brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the Sauce:
- ½ cup turbinado sugar or light brown sugar
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup heavy cream
Instructions
-
Pre-heat the oven to 350ºF.
-
Place the dates into a small saucepan with 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 4 to 5 minutes or until soft. Then, remove the pan from the heat and add the baking soda. (The mixture will foam and then settle down again.) Remove from the heat and let the dates cool.
-
Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and mix in the vanilla extract.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add this mixture to the creamed butter mixture and stir in the cooled dates. Transfer the pudding mixture to the 10-inch sauté pan and send it to the oven to bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown. It should feel firm in the center but give a little.
-
While the pudding is in the oven, make the sauce by combining the sugar, butter and heavy cream and simmering until it is a golden caramel color and slightly thickened.
-
Turn out the sticky toffee pudding while it is still warm and pour the sauce over the top to drench it!
