Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) chopped dates (pitted, preferably Medjool)
  • ¾ cup (180ml) boiling water
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ cup (100g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) brown sugar (light or dark, depending on preference)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (100g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line your baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Place the chopped dates in a bowl and pour the boiling water over them. Stir in the baking soda and let it sit for 10 minutes to soften.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Using a blender or food processor, puree the softened dates into a smooth paste. Fold this into the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. While the cake is baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the brown sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk over medium heat until smooth and slightly thickened (about 5 minutes).
  8. Once the cake is out of the oven, poke small holes all over the top with a toothpick or skewer. Pour half the toffee sauce over the warm cake and let it soak in for 5-10 minutes.
  9. Serve warm with the remaining toffee sauce drizzled on top. Pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate experience.

Notes

[‘Don’t skip the date puree; it gives the cake its signature moist texture and rich flavor.’, ‘Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for better incorporation.’, ‘The toffee sauce should coat the back of a spoon but still be pourable—don’t overcook it or it’ll harden.’, ‘Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven or gently reheated.’, ‘You can bake the cake a day ahead and store it. Reheat and add the sauce right before serving.’]
