A Perfect Date – Sticky Toffee Pudding with Homemade Toffee Sauce



There’s truly is no sexier desert than sticky toffee pudding – a very moist . Whilst I was folding the chopped up dates into the batter and whipping a generous batter of our homemade toffee sauce – I started thinking about how much this cake reminded me of what a perfect male date (I’m referring to the person now not the fruit) should be.  The cake is moist with a rich, full-bodied, almost overpowering taste– the sort of cake that has presence and demands your complete attention (think Boris Kojoe + a simple white tee + the Obama-swag – the wife, of course). The muscavado sugar that is used in the batter transforms into a rich sticky toffee upon baking and melts slowly and flirtatiously in your mouth with each bite.

The toffee sauce has this smooth velvety texture that would be no less than George Clooney if textures corresponded to men and its rich sweetness is akin to the sort of guy who knows that chivalry didn’t die in the Middle Ages. Yumz..

We’re definitely keeping this recipe – just in case Apple designs an app that can make men out of cakes. But then again would we really give up the cake … doubtful.
