Eliza's Sticky Toffee Pudding image

This recipe is out of a pudding cookbook and is delicious! Notes: The sauce is to be served hot but the pudding can be cold, do not be put of by the amount of sugar-it will be worth it and do not mind if you do not like dates, I do not but this is my favourite pudding...ever! Also the cooking time may be longer in a non-fan oven and it is easier if the ingredients are ready prepared but not crucial. Enjoy xxx

Time 35m

Yield 16 slices, 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

75 g sultanas
150 g stoned chopped dates
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
2 tablespoons butter (plus extra for greasing)
200 g brown sugar (bear with me)
200 g self-raising flour, sifted
4 tablespoons butter
350 ml double cream
400 g brown sugar (still bear with me!)
1 orange, zest of

Steps:

  • To make the pudding, put the dates and bicarbonate of soda in a heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water and leave to soak.
  • Preheat the oven to 180c/350f/gas mark 4.
  • Grease a cake tin (round or square) 20cm diameter, with butter.
  • Put the remaining butter in a separate bowl, add sugar, and mix well.
  • Beat the eggs then fold in the flour.
  • Drain the soaked dates, add to the bowl and mix.
  • Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared cake tin.
  • Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30mins(longer for a non fan oven). The pudding is cooked when a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  • About 5-10mins before the end of the cooking time, make the sauce.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat.
  • Stir in the cream and the sugar and bring to the boil, stirring constantly.
  • Lower the heat and simmer for 5mins.
  • Turn out the pudding on to a serving plate, decorate with the orange rind, serve the sauce in a jug as you would do cream and serve per person.
