If you like sticky toffee pudding you'll love this!! I decided to bake a couple of these on my baking day yesterday.
6 ozs dried dates
300ml water
1tsp bicarb of soda
6ozs soft light brown sugar
4ozs marg
3 eggs beaten
6 ozs self raising flour
For the icing:
6 tbsps double cream
3ozs soft light brown sugar
1oz butter
2ozs icing sugar
Cut the dates into small pieces. Place in saucepan with water. Bring to boil and boil for about 10mins. Remove from heat, stir in bicarb of soda and set aside to cool.
Cream together marg and sugar. Beat in the eggs and fold in cooled date mixture. Stir in the flour.
Spoon mixture into 2 1lb loaf tins and bake for 35 mins. Remove from oven and cool.
For the icing gently heat the cream, sugar and butter in a small pan. bring to the boil and cook for 4 mins until golden. Leave to cool and beat in the icing sugar. Spread on top of cake.
Yummy!! Enjoy
