STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING

Steps:

• For the cake: Remove and discard the pits from the dates, then chop the dates coarsely. Place in a small heatproof bowl and cover with the hot tea. Let soak until the dates are soft, at least 30 minutes. Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth; set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick spray or vegetable oil, then line with parchment paper.
• Place the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and let simmer until melted and slightly toasted (it will smell nutty), about 5 minutes. Pour into the date puree in the blender. Add the granulated sugar and molasses, and blend for 1 minute. Add the eggs, kosher salt and baking soda, and blend until smooth. Pour into a large bowl and add the flour. Stir until smooth and evenly combined, then pour into the prepared baking pan.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
• While the cake bakes, make the sauce: Combine the butter, cream and brown sugar in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, whisking, until thick, 5 to 7 minutes. Whisk in the vanilla extract and kosher salt.
• To serve, cut the cake into squares then top with the toffee sauce. Sprinkle with a bit of flaky sea salt, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 11x7 inch baking dish.
• Boil the dates in the water for about 5 minutes until soft, then add the baking soda.
• Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, then add the eggs and beat well.
• Mix in the dates, flour and vanilla, then pour into the greased baking pan and cook in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until just firm to the touch.
• To make the sauce, simply place all the ingredients in a pan over a low heat and stir together until blended, then bring to the boil.
• Some of this can be poured over the pudding and finished under the broiler, or it can be kept totally separate and ladled over the pudding when served.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 355 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.
• Combine hot black tea and raisins in a bowl; let stand for 5 minutes.
• Drain raisins and transfer to a food processor. Add milk and blend to combine.
• Beat butter, sugar, and brown sugar in a bowl. Whisk in eggs. Add flour, vanilla, and cinnamon; mix to combine. Stir in blended raisins and baking soda, then pour into the prepared dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a skewer inserted near the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
• While the pudding is cooking, combine brown sugar, margarine, and golden syrup for topping in a nonstick saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until the sauce brims over with foamy bubbles. Turn off the heat, but continue to stir until the bubbles go down.

• Add baking soda, vanilla, and espresso granules to the date-tea mixture. Add mixture to the batter and stir to produce a loose, soft, dropping consistency. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• When pudding is almost finished baking, combine 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon golden syrup, and butter for the sauce in a heavy saucepan over low heat until melted. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat. Gradually stir in cream and vanilla. Return to the heat and stir until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.

STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING

Steps:

• For the pudding: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Add the dates and 3/4 cup water to a small saucepan and heat over medium-high heat until boiling. Turn the heat down to low and simmer until the water has slightly reduced and the dates are beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat, then cover the saucepan and let sit for 10 minutes.
• Transfer the dates and liquid to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Process until smooth. Pour the date mixture into a bowl and cool to room temperature.
• Add the flour, baking powder and salt to a mixing bowl. Whisk to break up any lumps of flour. Set aside the dry ingredients. Add the brown sugar and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream the butter and sugar together, scraping down the bowl as needed, until fluffy and lighter in color, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the egg and beat until it is evenly combined. Add the orange zest and vanilla and mix until incorporated. Add half of the flour mixture to the butter mixture. Mix until incorporated, then add the date mixture. Mix until well combined, then add the remaining flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
• Spray 8 of the cups in a 12-cup muffin pan with the cooking spray. Fill the greased cups with 1/3 cup batter each. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• For the whiskey toffee sauce: Meanwhile, add the heavy whipping cream, brown sugar, butter, vanilla and salt to a small saucepan and heat over medium-high heat. Stir the mixture continuously until the butter is melted. Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Add the whiskey and continue to simmer until the sauce has slightly darkened in color, an additional 2 minutes. Turn the heat off and keep covered until ready to serve.
• Cool the puddings in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Once the puddings are cool enough to handle, remove them from the muffin pan using an offset spatula. Trim the domed tops from the puddings and set them on serving plates, cut-side down. Pour the warm whiskey toffee sauce over the puddings and serve immediately.
