Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Sticky Toffee Pudding
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
  2. Chop 1 cup of Medjool dates and simmer in 1 cup of water for about 5 minutes until soft. Mash until smooth.
  3. Cream together 1/2 cup softened butter and 1 cup dark brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Incorporate 2 large eggs one at a time into the mixture, beating well after each addition.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Gradually add to the wet ingredients.
  6. Fold in the mashed date mixture until just combined, ensuring the batter remains light and airy.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for approximately 35 minutes, until golden brown.
  8. While the pudding bakes, make the toffee sauce by combining 1 cup heavy cream, 1 cup dark brown sugar, 1/4 cup butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a saucepan over low heat.
  9. Serve the pudding warm, drizzled with toffee sauce and optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
