Old-Fashioned Sticky Toffee Pudding 🍮

Hey there! Today, I’m excited to share my favorite recipe for artichoke pudding. It’s creamy, flavorful, and oh-so-delicious. Let’s get started!

• 1 cup chopped pitted dates

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1 cup boiling water

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

• 3/4 cup brown sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Toffee Sauce:

• 1 cup brown sugar

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter

• 1/2 cup heavy cream

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dates:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.

• Place chopped dates and baking soda in a bowl. Pour boiling water over them and let sit for 10 minutes. Mash slightly with a fork.

1. Make the Cake Batter:

• Cream together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

• Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

• Stir in vanilla extract.

• In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the date mixture.

1. Bake:

• Pour batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

1. Make the Toffee Sauce:

• While the cake is baking, combine brown sugar, butter, and cream in a saucepan over medium heat.

• Stir until the butter melts and the mixture thickens slightly (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

1. Serve:

• Poke small holes into the warm cake and pour half of the toffee sauce over it. Let it soak in for 10 minutes.

• Serve warm with the remaining sauce drizzled on top and a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Why It’s Perfect for Christmas?

This dessert is rich, comforting, and pairs beautifully with the festive flavors of the season.

It also makes your home smell amazing while baking!

Add a sprinkle of chopped pecans or toasted walnuts for extra crunch.
