Sticky toffee pudding always reminds me of the old Dullstroom hotel which I spent many, many fantastic weekends visiting in the 80’s and 90’s. Hot gooey and unbelievably good, you just have to try this one.
What you need
Cake mixture
1 1/3 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
100g treacle sugar
pinch of salt
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
75ml melted butter
Toffee Sauce
120g soft butter
200g treacle sugar
250ml cream
The process
In a large bowl, sift the flour, add the sugar, salt and combine well.
In another bowl, add the milk, eggs, vanilla essence and melted butter. Whisk together until you get a slight froth on the top.
Add the liquid to the dry ingredients and mix well.
Pour into a buttered baking dish and bake at 180 Celsius for 40 minutes until the cake is firm to the touch.
The sauce
Add all of the ingredients to a pot and simmer for 5 minutes or so over a medium heat.
I prefer to pour sauce over the individual servings but you can also poke holes into the cake and pour it over the top as it comes out of the oven and let it soak in.
It’s very rich and should serve 6 people no problem.
What a hit with my immediate and extended family. I have to admit I added dates just for a personal touch.Soooo easy & decadent. WOW!!

I often buy the similar pudding from Nandos but would like to try out this recipe because it is simple, however please let me know what is treacle sugar and where can i get this ingredient. is there a substitute for it?
Hi Noeleen, Treacle sugar is a dark brown sugar in a plastic packet, Illovo make a good one, you will find it it any supermarket. Enjoy it.
