Sticky Toffee Pudding with Toffee Sauce image

Sticky toffee pudding is essentially a rich, moist cake permeated with a thick caramel-like sauce (with extra for serving). Most recipes say to soak the dates in hot water, but here we use coffee. It gives the holiday favorite a surprising depth of flavor. Martha made this recipe on Martha Bakes episode 505.

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for dish
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dish
8 ounces Medjool dates, pitted and coarsely chopped (about 1 1/4 cups)
1 cup scalding-hot strong brewed coffee
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
3/4 cup lightly packed dark-brown sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup lightly packed dark-brown sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Cake: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter and flour a 2 1/2-quart baking dish. Place dates in a bowl, pour coffee over dates, and let soak 15 minutes. Stir in baking soda.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat together butter and sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to medium and beat in eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly incorporated.
  • Reduce speed to low, and add half the flour mixture, beating until combined. Add date mixture and remaining flour mixture, and beat until just combined. (Do not overmix.) Transfer batter to dish, and bake until cake is puffed and springs back in center when gently pressed with a finger, about 25 minutes.
  • Sauce: Meanwhile, combine butter, sugar, and cream in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium (so sauce does not boil over) and boil, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens and darkens slightly, about 4 minutes.
  • Remove cake from oven and pierce holes at 1-inch intervals to bottom of cake with a wooden skewer. Pour half of hot sauce over cake and let soak 20 minutes. Serve warm with remaining sauce. Cake soaked in sauce and remaining toffee sauce can be stored at room temperature up to 1 day. Before serving, warm cake in a 300 degrees oven 10 minutes, and sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

For pudding
1 3/4 cups packed pitted dates (about 10 ounces)
2 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
For sauce
1 3/4 sticks (3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Accompaniment: vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Make pudding:
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. and butter and flour an 8-inch square baking pan (2 inches deep), knocking out excess flour.
  • Coarsely chop dates and in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart saucepan simmer dates in water, uncovered, 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in baking soda. (Mixture will foam.) Let mixture stand 20 minutes.
  • While mixture is standing, into a bowl sift together flour, baking powder, ginger, and salt. In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, beating after each addition until just combined. Add date mixture and with a wooden spoon stir batter until just combined well.
  • Pour batter into baking pan and set pan in a larger baking pan. Add enough hot water to larger pan to reach halfway up sides of smaller pan and bake in middle of oven until a tester comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove smaller pan from water bath and cool pudding to warm on a rack.
  • Make sauce while pudding is cooling:
  • In a 1 1/2- to 2-quart heavy saucepan melt butter over moderate heat and add brown sugar. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, and stir in cream and vanilla. Simmer sauce, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Cool sauce to warm.
  • Cut warm pudding into squares. Serve pudding with ice cream and warm sauce.

STICKY DATE PUDDING WITH TOFFEE SAUCE RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Sticky Date Pudding with Toffee Sauce Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by cookism

Number Of Ingredients 15

TOFFEE SAUCE:
1 cup whole Medjool dates
3/4 cups boiling water
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
3/4 cups self-raising flour, plus extra for greasing, divided
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
2 eggs
6 tablespoons butter, softened plus extra for greasing, divided
10 tablespoons demerara sugar
2 tablespoons black treacle
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cups muscovado sugar
3 1/2 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
1 cup double cream
1 tablespoon black treacle

Steps:

  • Remove pits from dates and finely chop them into small pieces. Transfer to a bowl and pour boiling water over. Allow them to stand for about 30 minutes until cool, then mash roughly with a fork and stir in the vanilla bean paste. Butter and flour eight 8x7-centimeter mini pudding moulds and set them aside. Preheat oven to 356°F. Mix flour and bicarbonate of soda in a dry bowl. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar together for a few minutes until slightly creamy (mixture will be grainy from the sugar). Beat eggs in a separate bowl and add them into the butter-sugar mixture a little at a time, beating well between additions. Next, beat in the black treacle, then gently fold in one-third of the flour and half of the milk with a spatula. Repeat until all the flour and milk is used. Be careful not to over-mix. Gently stir in the dates. You will achieve a soft and thick batter. Divide batter between the moulds, leaving a gap from the rim to allow space for the puddings to rise. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until risen and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. While the puddings are baking, make toffee sauce. Combine sugar, butter and half the cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring regularly until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the black treacle, turn up the heat slightly and allow the mixture to bubble away for 2-3 minutes until it is a rich toffee color, stirring occasionally to make sure it doesn't burn. Remove from heat and stir in the rest of the cream. When the puddings are ready, remove them from the oven and leave aside until cool enough to touch. Trim off excess and run a palette knife along the insides of the tins to loosen them. To serve, drizzle the toffee sauce over the puddings or soak them in the sauce overnight for stickier puddings. Spoil yourself further with an indulgent scoop of ice cream and a tuile wheel! Dig in!

STICKY DATE PUDDING WITH WICKED TOFFEE SAUCE- ANNABEL LANGBEIN RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Sticky date pudding with Wicked Toffee Sauce- Annabel Langbein Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by á-48807

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup pitted dates
1 1/4 cups water
1 tsp baking soda
60 g butter, chopped
1 packed cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups self-raising flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground ginger
2 pears, cored and cut into thin slices

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180˚C. Grease the sides of a 25cm cake tin and line the base with baking paper. Place dates, water and baking soda in a pot large enough to hold the entire mixture and boil for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and mash with a potato masher to break up the dates. Stir in chopped butter and mix until butter is melted. Mix in sugar and eggs then fold in flour, vanilla and ginger. Arrange pear slices in a concentric circle around the base of the tin, placing a few slices in the centre. Pour batter over the top and smooth evenly to fully cover the pears. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Stand for at least 10 minutes before turning upside down onto a serving platter and removing the baking paper. Serve with warm Wicked Toffee Sauce. This dessert keeps well for a day or two and can be frozen. Thaw and serve warm - heat it in the oven for 10 minutes or microwave it for 2-3 minutes. Wicked Toffee Sauce Place ½ cup water in a saucepan. Add 2 cups caster sugar and place over a medium heat until the sugar dissolves and comes to the boil, swirling the pot now and then. Boil without stirring until mixture turns a golden caramel colour - approximately 8-10 minutes. (Do not be tempted to stir the mixture as this could cause it to crystallise. To prevent it from crystallising, you can run a wet brush around the sides of the pot, allowing the excess water to run into the sugar mixture.) Remove from heat, add 2 cups cream and 2 tsp vanilla extract and stir until smooth. Leftover sauce can be stored in the fridge and reheated. Makes 3 cups.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Puddings & Custards     Bread Pudding Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pan
8 ounces Medjool dates, pitted and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup light rum
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup packed dark-brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup packed dark-brown sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup light rum

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make the pudding: Butter an 8-inch square cake pan; set aside. Put dates, rum, and 1/2 cup water into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover, and simmer until dates are very soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Carefully transfer date mixture to a food processor, and puree (you should have about 1 cup). Let cool 15 minutes.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Put butter and brown sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
  • Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the date puree. Transfer batter to prepared pan; smooth top. Bake 25 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325 degrees, and bake until a cake tester inserted into center of pudding comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 5 minutes. Run a knife around edges of pan to loosen, and invert onto a serving plate.
  • Make the sauce: Put cream, brown sugar, and butter into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook 3 minutes. Stir in rum, and cook 1 minute more (you should have about 1 1/2 cups sauce). Pour half of the sauce over pudding. Serve immediately with remaining sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality date. Medjool dates are a popular choice, as they are large and have a soft, chewy texture.
  • If your dates are dry, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes before using. This will help to soften them and make them easier to blend.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the dates by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely, so that they blend smoothly into the batter.
  • Make sure your oven is preheated before you start baking the pudding. This will help to ensure that the pudding cooks evenly.
  • Serve the pudding warm, with a generous helping of toffee sauce. You may also add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Date pudding with toffee sauce is a classic dessert that is sure to please everyone at your table. It is moist, rich, and flavorful, with a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness. The toffee sauce is the perfect finishing touch, adding a delicious extra layer of flavor and texture. This pudding is also relatively easy to make, making it a great option for busy weeknights or special occasions.
