Sticky toffee pudding

sticky date pudding

Sticky toffee pudding, known as sticky date pudding in Australia and New Zealand, is a British dessert consisting of a moist sponge cake covered in a toffee sauce, often served with a vanilla custard or vanilla ice cream. It is widely served in the Lake District in northwest England, where it is a culinary symbol. Sticky toffee pudding has two essential components, sponge cake and toffee sauce. The first is a moist sponge cake which contains finely chopped dates. The sponge is usually light and fluffy, closer to a muffin consistency rather than a heavier traditional British sponge, and is often lightly flavoured with nuts or spices such as cloves. The toffee sauce is usually made from double cream and different dark sugars .
