Sticky Toffee Pudding

1: Preheat oven to 180°C.

2: Lightly grease (with coconut oil) and dust (with flour) a 7” baking tin.

3: Pour the hot water over the dates and leave them to soak for 10 minutes while you make the pudding mixture.

4: In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract together, then add the bicarbonate of soda and vinegar. Next, fold in the flour and milk a little bit at a time.

5: Blend the dates with the water until fully combined to form a thick puree, and mix into the pudding mixture.

6: Transfer cake mixture to a baking tin and bake for 30 – 35 minutes.

7: Meanwhile, make the sauce by heating all ingredients in a small pan until boiling, then turn the heat down and simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened.

8: Serve a big slice of pudding with a generous drizzling of toffee sauce!
