Ive done a little home work called my Mom and looked on the internet and found a bunch , but im really lookin for something that has been loved and passed down . Trust me I realize the secrecy of family recipes . You'll have to pry the creme brulee recipe I know out of my cold lifeless hands . Or just ask Thanks for helpin a novice baker

There has been a thread on sticky toffee pudding already.

This is the recipe I use, but I make a real caramel sauce instead of doing the brown sugar/cream sauce.

^It's not as dense as, say, pound cake, or as light as angel food or chiffon cake...it has a similar moistness and density as carrot cake, I guess.

yea ....the pictures on the net that Ive been seeing look simular to carrot cake , but im trying to recreate my grandmothers Pudding . It was Very dense , very sticky. I was thinking of leaving out the baking soda so it comes out heavy . I kinda want and enjoy the contrast between fluffy whipped cream and heavy rich pudding . Her Pudding was always crunchy on top also hmmmmmmmm? I guess ill just have to experiment ......shucks Any tips you ar anyone else can give me to achive such a style of sticky pudding would be much appritiated .......thanks pastry kitchen .
