Sticky Toffee, Date & Walnut Pudding

120 Minutes

8-9 Portions

Who doesn't love sticky toffee pudding. Mine has added natural sweetness from the dates and a little something to crunch through with the walnuts.

Method

Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 170c. grease and flour an 8, 9 or 10inch round or square baking tin.
Place the dates, water, vanilla, sugar, butter and treacle into a pot and bring to the boil, allow to cool for approx 20 minutes.
Meanwhile place all the ingredients for the toffee sauce in a pot and bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes, your sauce is ready (but hot!!0 Set aside.
Place the cooled ingredients for step into a food processor and blend until smooth, add in the egg and milk, blend for 5 seconds, then add in the flour and bread soda, blend for 20 seconds until no flour remains to be seen. Add in the chopped walnuts and blend for 3 seconds.
Pour the mix into your prepared tin and bake for approx 40-45 minutes until it is cooked. Remove from the oven and spread 2 tablespoons of the sauce over the hot cake (omitting the walnut & date chunks) and place it back in the oven for a further 5 minutes until bubbles appear over the top- this gives it the sticky topping appearance.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 20 minutes before serving it topped with that yummy sauce and vanilla ice-cream of course! Enjoy!
