Dive into this classic British dessert that combines the sweet richness of dates and the indulgence of toffee sauce. Sticky Toffee Pudding is the ultimate comfort dessert that embraces you with warmth and sweetness like a cozy blanket. Perfect for a chill evening when all you need is a bit of warmth and a touch of sweetness.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
Chop the dates and place them into a bowl. Sprinkle with baking soda, pour the boiling water over them, and set aside to soak for 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and dark brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one by one, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Blend the soaked dates, along with the soaking liquid, until smooth. Fold the date mixture into the egg mixture.
Gradually stir in the self-raising flour until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
For the toffee sauce, heat the heavy cream and light brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
Slice the baked pudding into squares and serve warm with a generous drizzle of toffee sauce.
