Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups water
1 cup brown sugar
3 Tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped dates (seeds removed)
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Spray a 9 x 5 inch pan (bread pan) with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  • For the sauce, boil together water, brown sugar and butter for 3 minutes in a small saucepan; add vanilla and take off heat to slightly cool while putting together pudding.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt; add milk, chopped dates and vanilla. Mix together until a thick, sticky batter forms.
  • Spread pudding cake mixture into prepared bread pan; pour sauce over batter.
  • Bake for approximately 1 hour. If the center still looks wet after an hour, continue to cook 5 to 10 minutes until the center is set. The cake will be sticky, and the sauce layer will move to the bottom.

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.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

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.

STICKY DATE NUT PUDDING DESSERT WITH CARAMEL OR TOFFEE SAUCE



Sticky Date Nut Pudding Dessert With Caramel or Toffee Sauce image

My sister-in-law makes this for my in-laws' Christmas meal and it is delicious. I added this to my extended family's holiday table several years ago and now I would be in trouble if I didn't make it and bring it to our holiday feast! In the past three years, it has become a new tradition for my family (which doesn't happen often!). My mother even requests this for the Thanksgiving meal. If you're searching for something deliciously different for your holiday meals, you will not be disappointed with this. It is a trifle-like dessert with layers of cubed, moist date/nut cake, cool whip, and candy-like caramel or toffee sauce. AMAZING. This recipe makes one dessert bowl. Doubling this will make it fit nicely into a 9x13" pan and into two dessert bowls.

STICKY DATE PUDDING WITH BALSAMIC CARAMEL SAUCE



Sticky Date Pudding With Balsamic Caramel Sauce image

This recipe is one I tasted when a colleague brought it to work. The addition of balsamic vinegar to the caramel sauce, tempers the sweetness and adds a different dimension to the sauce. People always tell me that it is the most delicious sticky date they have ever had and I think it is the sauce that makes the difference, so be sure to at least double the sauce! Decadent and delish served with vanilla ice cream!

STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING WITH CARAMEL SAUCE



Sticky Toffee Pudding with Caramel Sauce image

Categories     Dairy     Fruit     Dessert     Bake     Date     Winter     Bon Appétit     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

For sauce
4 cups whipping cream
2 cups (packed) dark brown sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
For cake
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 cups water
1 1/4 cups chopped pitted dates
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
2/3 cup sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Make sauce:
  • Bring cream, brown sugar and butter to boil in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat and simmer sauce until reduced to 3 1/2 cups, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes. Set aside. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, before using.)
  • Make cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 12-cup Bundt pan. Whisk flour and baking powder in medium bowl to blend; set aside. Combine 1 1/2 cups water, dates and baking soda in another heavy medium saucepan and bring to boil. Remove from heat; cool completely.
  • Using electric mixer, beat butter and sugar in large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Mix in vanilla and half of flour mixture, then date mixture. Blend in remaining flour mixture. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake until cake rises and is golden on top, about 45 minutes. Pour 3/4 cup caramel sauce over cake; continue baking until tester inserted near center of cake comes out with no crumbs (only caramel sauce) attached, about 15 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Invert cake onto platter. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool completely. Wrap cake airtight and store at room temperature. Cover remaining caramel sauce and refrigerate. Rewarm sauce over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, before using.)
  • Cut cake into slices; drizzle caramel sauce over each slice.

Tips:

  • Use pitted dates: Pitting the dates ensures a smooth and even texture in the pudding.
  • Chop the dates finely: Finely chopping the dates helps them distribute evenly throughout the pudding batter.
  • Use a large bowl: A large bowl is necessary to accommodate all the ingredients and allow for easy mixing.
  • Mix the batter until just combined: Over-mixing the batter can result in a tough and dense pudding.
  • Pour the batter into a greased baking dish: Greasing the baking dish prevents the pudding from sticking and ensures easy removal.
  • Cover the baking dish tightly with foil: Covering the baking dish tightly with foil prevents the pudding from drying out during baking.
  • Let the pudding cool slightly before serving: Allowing the pudding to cool slightly before serving helps it set and makes it easier to handle.
  • Serve the pudding with caramel sauce and ice cream: Serving the pudding with caramel sauce and ice cream enhances its flavor and makes it a delightful dessert.

Conclusion:

This sticky date pudding recipe with caramel sauce is an indulgent and comforting dessert perfect for any occasion. The combination of soft and moist dates, rich caramel sauce, and creamy ice cream creates a taste experience that is sure to satisfy. The pudding is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether served as a special dessert or a comforting treat, this sticky date pudding is sure to be a hit.
