Sticky Toffee Pudding from Mary Berry

Recipe from England! The best Sticky Toffee Pudding is from Mary Berry. The fluffy sponge cake that is topped with warm caramel is just the right amount of sweetness for the perfect English dessert.

Let’s not forget a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top with drizzling caramel with sprinkled sea salt, yummy! So easy to make and yet no one would ever know. Definitely of my top 5 best desserts to make for Thanksgiving or Christmas.

I love dessert and always look at a menu for dessert first when at a restaurnat. When I first had this for the first time, I was hooked for life. True love and knowing one makes it better than Mary Berry.

She is the Martha Stewart of England. She is in her 80s and I think she has probably perfected the recipe better than anyone else. I would think, she probably has made it about 1000’s times by now.

What Makes Mary's Sticky Toffee Pudding Better?

There is a secret ingredient that I would have never known until Mary. Most cooks make it with dates but not Mary Berry. She makes it with black treacle and muscovado sugar. This dessert will make any cook look like a chef. Black treacle and muscovado sugar can both be purchased on Amazon.

Ingredients

For the Sticky Toffee Pudding

• butter
• muscovado sugar
• eggs
• self-raising flour
• baking powder
• soda
• black treacle
• whole milk

For the sauce

• butter
• muscovado sugar
• black treacle
• heavy cream
• vanilla extract

How to Make Mary's Sticky Toffee Pudding

Cake

1. Preheat oven at 350º degree.
2. Put the butter, sugar, eggs, flour, baking powder, soda and treacle into a mixing bowl.
3. Beat using a mixer for about 30 seconds or until combined. 
4. Pour in the milk gradually and whisk again until smooth. 
5. Butter a square cake pan and pour the mix.
6. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until well risen and springy in the center.

Caramel Sauce

1. To make the sauce, put all the ingredients into a saucepan and stir over low heat until the sugar has dissolved and the butter has melted. 
2. Bring to a boil, stirring for a minute.
3. To serve, pour half the sauce over the pudding in the baking dish

Substitutions

You can use dates to substitute the treacle with ⅔ cup Medjool dates that are pitted and finely chopped with ½ cup boiling water. It should become a paste caramel consistency. 

Top Tip

The cake can be kept for up to 3 days. I like it warm so I sometimes heat it up for about 20 seconds in the microwave. I prefer a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drip the caramel sauce on top.
