Here's the recipe: Sticky Toffee Pudding https://www.carnation.co.uk/Recipes/17/Sticky-Toffee-Pudding Serves 6 175g dates, stoned and chopped 1tsp bicarbonate of soda 300ml boiling water 55g butter 175g caster sugar 2 eggs 175g self-raising flour 1tsp pure vanilla extract For the sauce 397g can Carnation Caramel You will also need... An 18cm (7”) square cake tin base-lined with baking parchment 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, (160°C for fan ovens), Gas Mark 4. 2. Mix the dates and the bicarbonate of soda. Pour the hot water over and leave to soak while you make the batter. Whisk together the butter and the sugar, then add eggs, one at a time (don’t worry if it curdles). Mix in the flour, and then stir in the date mixture and vanilla. Pour into the prepared tin. 3. Bake in the oven for about 50 minutes, until springy to the touch and cooked through. 4. Spoon the caramel into a microwave safe bowl and heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring often (or heat gently on the hob). I multiplied it by 6 It took two hours to bake. I covered the edges with foil after about an hour as the centre was still liquid. It's for a local Community Centre's Sunday Lunch Club but I baked the leftover mixture and it tastes delicious!
