Sticky Toffee Pudding Recipe.

Ingredients:

For the Pudding:

1 ½ cups dates, pitted and chopped
1 ¼ cups boiling water
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt

For the Toffee Sauce:

1 ¼ cups heavy cream
½ cup unsalted butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Recipe Instructions:

Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Dates:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the chopped dates in a heatproof bowl.
Pour the boiling water over the dates and stir in the baking soda.
Set the bowl aside and let the dates soak for about 15 minutes.

Cream the Butter and Sugar:

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Prepare the Batter:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture, alternating with the soaked dates and their liquid.
Mix until all the ingredients are well combined and the batter is smooth.

Bake the Pudding:

Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or individual ramekins.
Pour the batter into the prepared dish or divide it evenly among the ramekins.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly.

Prepare the Toffee Sauce:

In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir continuously until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved.
Let the sauce simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

Serve and Enjoy:

Cut the warm pudding into individual portions if using a baking dish, or leave the puddings in the ramekins.
Pour a generous amount of the warm toffee sauce over each serving.
Serve the Sticky Toffee Pudding immediately.
