Serves 8 people

Ingredients

• 1 + 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
• 2 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
• 200g Finely Chopped Pitted Dates
• 50g Vegan Butter (we used Vegan Block)
• 150g Soft Brown Sugar
• 175g Self Raising White Flour
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Toffee Sauce Topping

• 250ml Double Cream
• 100g Butter
• 100g Brown Sugar

Method

Start off your delicious sticky toffee pudding recipe by soaking the dates in 300ml of boiling water in a measuring jug, set this aside until lukewarm. Mix together all the other sponge ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Once the dates and water have cooled add this to the mixing bowl together with the other ingredients. Then blend in a food processor until smooth.

Butter a medium sized baking dish or individual ramekins and then pour in the mixture. Bake for 40 minutes. Whilst sponge is baking create your topping sauce. Melt your butter in a small pan add sugar once melted to make a thick syrup. Then pour in your vegan cream - stir until smooth for 2 minutes.

Once sponge has baked and it’s firm pour over the sauce leaving a bit back for serving. Then bake for a further 5 minutes and your ready to serve.
