Sticky Date Pudding 枣泥布丁蛋糕
This Sticky Date Pudding (a classic British dessert ~sticky toffee pudding) is delicious with toffee sauce poured over the warm cake. The cake itself is moist and soft but the plus point is the toffee sauce (or butterscotch sauce) with deep caramel flavour. They complement well with each other especially when served warm. So perfect to serve for any occasions.
Sticky Date Pudding
Ingredients
- 110 g fresh dates - I used processed dates
- 90 ml boiling water
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 40 g butter
- 40 g brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 60 g self-raising flour - or plain flour + 1/4 tsp baking powder
Toffee Sauce
- 30 g butter
- 35 g brown sugar
- 90 ml dairy whipping cream
- 1/2 tbsp rum liqueur - optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 160°C. Place the dates, boiling water and bicarbonate of soda in a bowl, mix well and set aside for 10 minutes. **slightly drain away some liquid for less sweet (optional)
- Place the date mixture, butter and sugar in a food processor and process until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the eggs, vanilla extract and flour and process until just combined(about 30 seconds).
- Pour date mixture into greased muffin pan and bake for 20–22 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer.
- Toffee sauce - place the butter, cream and sugar in a small pot over medium heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to the boil and cook for about 2 minutes or until thickened slightly. **add rum after boiled and stir well~~
- Allow toffee sauce to cool slightly and pour over the warm cake to serve. (Great to serve with a dollop of vanilla ice cream)

Hi Ann, just want to say I’ve made this twice now, the first time round with golden caster sugar because I was out of brown sugar, and both times they turned out great (though slightly more moist and thus more delicious with brown sugar). Thanks for a great recipe!
Hi Y Wang, I’m happy to hear that you enjoyed this pudding cake. How I wish I can see your picture 🙂
Save me one please! I love sticky date pudding…and muffin pan version is perfect, Ann.
Hi Ann! Im trying out the recipe now. May I know when to add the rum? Your recipes never fail! Thanks!
Hi Ai Li, add rum after boiled and stir well.
Thanks, Ann! Do I bake these in a 12-hole muffin tray? I only managed to get 6 instead of 8 muffins. Also, do I leave the muffins to cool down in the pan or do I have to remove them to cool? Thanks!
Ai Li, Is because of the muffin pan that I used is smaller in capacity. When the cakes are out of oven, just leave them in the pan to keep warm and remove them after you have finished cooking the toffee sauce.
Thank you! Appreciate your help!
Oh wow wow wow! The cakes are super super moist and soft!!.I will be baking more! Thanks Ann, for sharing such an amazing recipe!
