Description

A quick and easy sticky toffee pudding cake, perfect for a warm winter dessert.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup pitted dates, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • For the Toffee Sauce:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the buttermilk and chopped dates. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately with the buttermilk and date mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. While the cake is baking, prepare the toffee sauce. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  10. Stir in the brown sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  11. Remove from heat and stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract.
  12. Once the cake is out of the oven, poke holes all over the top with a wooden skewer.
  13. Pour about half of the warm toffee sauce over the hot cake, allowing it to soak in.
  14. Let the cake cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with the remaining toffee sauce.

Notes

  • For a richer sauce, you can add a pinch of salt.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • The dates can be soaked in warm water for 10 minutes if they are very dry.
