Sticky Toffee Pudding
Dense, moist date sponge cake drenched in warm toffee sauce, served with cream or vanilla ice cream.
Why It Works
Soaking and pureeing the dates creates a naturally moist, caramel-flavored crumb. Baking soda breaks down the dates and darkens the color while keeping it impossibly tender.
