How To Make Sticky Toffee Pudding - Did you know this quintessential "English" dessert actually came from Canada? We didn't either... but wherever it came from the cake smothered in toffee sauce is amazing!
Ingredients:
225g (about 14) whole medjool dates
175 mL boiling water
5 mL (1 tsp) baking soda
180g (310 mL / 1¼ cup) all purpose flour
5 mL (1 tsp) baking powder
85g butter, softened
140g (125 mL / ½ cup) dark brown sugar
2 eggs
5 mL (1 tsp) pure vanilla extract
30 mL (2 Tbsp) molasses
100 mL milk
For the Sauce:
100g butter
125g brown sugar
15 mL (1 Tbsp) molasses
300 mL (10fl oz) 35% whipping Cream
5 mL (1 tsp) pure vanilla extract
30 mL (2 Tbsp) whisky
Method:
Preheat oven to 180ºC (350ºF)
Grease a muffin tin (12).
Pit and chop the dates then soak in the boiling water and baking soda.
Soak for about 30 minutes, then mash a bit with a fork.
While the dates are soaking, make the batter.
Mix together flour, and baking powder.
Cream together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well between each.
Beat in molasses and pure vanilla extract.
Alternate between mixing in some flour and then some milk.
Repeat until everything is well incorporated.
Stir the soaked dates and the water into the batter.
Divide evenly between the tins and bake for 20-25 mins, until risen and firm.
To make the sauce, put all the ingredients into a saucepan and stir over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved and the butter has melted.
Bring to a boil, stirring for a minute.

It's nice to eat and decadent with pouring cream added. It also just cuts down the sweetness in the sauce ever so slightly.

Love it. Sticky date pudding in Australia, using the cheapest dry dates available and blend it all with a hand mixer. Using a bundt tin, when cooked you put holes in the bottom and pour the sauce into it to soak in. Amazingly simple and good.

@dungeonseeker3087 5 жыл бұрын

Being a Brit with a very sweet tooth STP is one of my favourite things to make and eat and your recipe was very close to the one I use. Personally I would chop the dates very fine, soak them in way more water than you did and finally blitz everything together with a stick blender and then while making the cake batter I wouldn't add milk and instead the extra water from the date mix would loosen the batter up. It should be so runny that you cannot use a spring loaded tin because the batter seeps through the cracks. Cook it at 150°c instead of the usual 160 until it's just cooked through. One last thing is we would ALWAYS use double/heavy cream in the sauce, many recipes call for Golden Syrup and soft brown sugar in the sauce instead of Treacle as a molasses flavoured cake and sauce is a little to much however I believe you generally can't get Golden Syrup in North America, at least not easily. The fat in the cream and butter combined with the syrup should make a sauce that sets to a soft caramel when refrigerated. You're supposed to serve it *BOILING* hot with a scoop of Vanilla Ice cream on the top, never leave STP to cool. My mum likes to add her ice cream first then pour the boiling toffee sauce over it.

Hi Glen and Julie, a Brit here! 🇬🇧 Nice job! 👍😃 However, you do need to serve that with single cream or custard! 😉 This is not optional.... 😏 And not posh, homemade custard, but custard from a tin or made from powder! 😁 Preferably Birds Custard! 😃 Do you have that in Canada-Land?? 😁 Also - noooooo such thing as ‘too sweet’!!! 😆XXX

Isn't the British version usually steamed rather than baked? By the way I like the idea of the date cake being the origin - I do a date cake but with sticky toffee sauce, using a few tbsp of it as a drizzle while the cake is warm (prick some holes in and pour over) and the rest to serve - WITH cream which cuts through the sweetness without adding hardly any calories at all.....

Grew up having home made fruit cake. I still make them. We always had mince meat pies aa couple times a year. Dad's favorite, right above black raspberry and apple. We had hundreds of feet of berry canes, well trimmed and pruned, and an apple orchard of mixed varieties. Apples from June- summer transparent to late fall Winesap, with lots in between. Up in an apple tree with smooth bark and no spurs, was a great place to hang out with a book.

You are very right about the treacle. Living in Wisconsin, you *cannot* find treacle. You are lucky if you find golden syrup. I would definitely have to use molasses. Unless I wanted to drive more than two hours to the Twin Cities and drive around both cities and every grocery store to try to find it.

Grandma made sticky toffee pudding with toffee sauce from a recipe handed down by her great grandmother and we loved it way back in Uk in the 1950's. She varied the recipe for time to time and put whisky in for the adults. She used Molasses not treacle and buttermilk instead of milk. the sauce was made with caramelised sugar and very sweet condensed milk.

That pudding is very popular in Australia too where it is know as sticky date pudding, I make it regularly. I found that Medjool dates do not have enough flavour for the pudding and regular dried dates are better. Medjool dates are by far the best to eat as a snack though. I have tried using middle eastern date molasses or date honey which gives a nice rich flavour too in which case I cut back on the sugar. In addition I have actually made the pudding with pineapple instead of dates for the family and it was a big hit. Sticky pineapple pudding mmmm.

@olgakim4848 3 жыл бұрын

In the America's Test Kitchen recipe, they add rum to the sauce, to "add flavor". I took that to mean that there is really not a lot of flavor because the cloying sweetness kills it all. I didn't have rum on hand so I just used vanilla. It was good, but I have to admit I had to really concentrate to taste the date, toffee, buttery flavors of the cake behind the icky, overpowering sweetness. And it was supposed to be a less sweet, reduced sugar recipe. And I don't necessarily use cheap ingredients, either. And I've heard some say this might be the "greatest" dessert, ever. Haha, that's adorable, but have they not heard of the French? And the Italians? Oh, I love Italian desserts. Also, German and Scandinavian desserts and sweets, flavorful and delicious but never overly sweet.
