Sticky toffee pudding recipe
What is sticky toffee pudding?
Sticky toffee pudding is a popular British dessert consisting of rich, moist sponge cake drenched with toffee sauce for the ultimate stodgy-sweet combo.
Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C Fan, 350°F, Gas 4. Pop the dates into a pan with the water, bring to the boil then lower the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the bicarbonate of soda and set aside.
In a new bowl, beat the butter, Lyle’s Golden Syrup and Tate & Lyle’s Light Soft Brown Sugar until soft and creamy, then beat in the vanilla and eggs.
Fold in the flour and the dates with their liquid, mix well to give a soft consistency. Spoon into a greased 20-23cm (8-9”) square shallow parchment lined cake tin, and bake on the middle shelf for 30 minutes. Lightly cover with foil and cook for a further 15-20 minutes (until a fine skewer comes out clean when poked through the centre).
Meanwhile, put all the ingredients for the Toffee sauce into a medium-sized non-stick pan and stir together over a low heat until the Tate & Lyle’s Light Soft Brown Sugar has dissolved.
Pro tip
In the unlikely event of leftovers, Lyle’s splendidly sticky toffee pudding can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days, as long as it’s in an airtight container.
When the pudding is ready, cut into portions, pour over the warm toffee sauce and serve.
Pro tip
Enjoy that rich golden sponge texture – just don't skimp on the sauce!
