Sticky Toffee Pudding
You’ll often dream of sticky toffee pudding once you learn how to prepare it. This traditional British dessert is well-liked in Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. It is thought to have been invented in a tavern in northwest England. The cake is moist and supple and is sweetened with brown sugar as well as dates that have been coarsely chopped or pureed.
Before going back into the oven for a second time, the cake is sandwiched between layers of buttery toffee sauce. On the plate, the additional sauce is then liberally drizzled on top. To balance out the thick sauce, the completed pudding is served with custard, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream.
When British people use the word “pudding,” they most frequently mean a sweet or savory food that was previously steamed. Since many of these traditional recipes have been modified over time, baking directions are now frequently provided alongside steaming instructions. Although dessert, in general, is now referred to in the UK as “pudding,” you are still more likely to come across a dish that is closer to cake than anything else.

To make the toffee sauce, combine 1 1/4 cups of the cream with the butter, corn syrup, and sugar in a medium saucepan and heat to a boil. After that, simmer for about 40 minutes, stirring often over moderately low heat until a deep amber caramel forms. The remaining 1 1/4 cups of cream are then slowly whisked in.
