Sticky toffee pudding is a must-have when in the United Kingdom. It\u2019s not hard to find when you\u2019re there: This sauce-soaked, date-laden confection is so beloved that you\u2019ll likely see it on most traditional pub dessert menus. It\u2019s even commonplace in Australia and New Zealand under the name \u201csticky date pudding.\u201d But anywhere else in the world, you may be hard-pressed to find a restaurant baking their own sticky toffee pudding recipe.<\/p>\n
Luckily, this traditional British dessert<\/a> is a breeze to make at home. Simply soak some dates in water, bake them into a cake and serve it warm with a very generous, heavy-handed pour of homemade butterscotch sauce. If you can’t buy that plane ticket to the UK just<\/em> yet, let this sticky toffee pudding recipe transport you.<\/p>\n Sticky toffee pudding is a warm, date-loaded sponge cake that\u2019s doused in a warm toffee sauce. Both must be served warm so the viscous toffee sauce can seep through the porous sponge cake, turning the cake into its namesake pudding-like texture.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. In a small saucepan, combine the chopped dates and the water. Bring the mixture to a boil.<\/p>\n Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the baking soda. Set the mixture aside to let it cool to a lukewarm temperature.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Once the dates have soaked thoroughly, feel free to add them to a food processor to make the mixture extra smooth and creamy.<\/p>\n In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the butter and sugar until they\u2019re light and fluffy, five to seven minutes.<\/p>\n Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla.<\/p>\n In another bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.<\/p>\n Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, then stir in the date mixture.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Don\u2019t forget to take the time to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure all the ingredients are incorporated as you go.<\/p>\n Pour the cake batter into a greased 13×9-inch baking pan. Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool the cake slightly in its pan on a wire rack.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Once the cake has cooled, poke holes all over so the sauce can seep into the cake.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the butter. Add in the brown sugar and half-and-half. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.<\/p>\n Remove the mixture from the heat. Stir in the brandy and vanilla.<\/p>\n Serve the sauce warm with the warm cake. If desired, top the cake with whipped cream.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em>\u00a0Generously pour the warm sauce over each serving of warm sticky toffee pudding cake, and let the sauce soak into the cake a bit so the texture turns pudding-like.<\/p>\n Let the sticky toffee pudding cool completely to room temperature. Cover the pan tightly with storage wrap and transfer the sauce into an airtight container. They can be kept in the fridge for up to three days.<\/p>\n Yes, you can freeze sticky toffee pudding. Once the cake is baked and cooled to room temperature, cover the pan with a layer of storage wrap and a layer of aluminum foil, and stash it in the freezer for up to two months. Thaw it overnight in the fridge and make the butterscotch sauce fresh.<\/p>\n You absolutely can make sticky toffee pudding ahead of time. Bake the cake a day or two before serving. Let it cool to room temperature, then cover the pan tightly with storage wrap and keep it in the fridge. Make the butterscotch sauce, cool it to room temperature, transfer it to an airtight container and keep it in the fridge.<\/p>\n When you\u2019re ready to serve, remove the wrapping from the cake and reheat the cake in a 350\u00b0 oven until warmed through, 5 to 10 minutes. Rewarm the sauce in a saucepan and serve with the warm cake.<\/p>\n The only difference between sticky toffee and caramel is their type of sugar. Sticky toffee uses brown sugar, whereas caramel uses granulated sugar. However, these two ingredients hardly make a difference in the outcome as they both create a thick, sweet, golden-hued dessert sauce.<\/p>\n After the sauce is poured on, sticky toffee pudding is traditionally served with a scoop of store bought vanilla ice cream<\/a> or a lovely homemade vanilla ice cream<\/a>. Custard sauce is also a beloved sticky date pudding topping, as is a dollop of sweetened whipped cream<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sticky toffee pudding is a sponge cake
