🍳 Recipe Information

Microwave Sticky Toffee Pudding

You’re just 10 minutes away from a bowl of soft, date-flecked cake draped in a brown sugary sauce. This speedy take on sticky toffee pudding is made for one or two people and doesn’t require turning on the oven — just the microwave. Topping your warm cake with cold ice cream, whipped cream or sour cream is a welcome contrast and helps temper the sweetness. A few toasted pecans on top would add a nice crunch.

⏱️ Prep: 5m 🔥 Cook: 5m ⏰ Total: 10m 👥 Serves: 1 to 2 servings
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • Salt
  • 2 Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup/28 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Sour cream, vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving
Instructions:
  1. In a small bowl or mug, melt 1 tablespoon butter in the microwave, about 30 seconds. Add 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon heavy cream and a pinch of salt. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until the sugar is melted and the mixture comes together into a sauce, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Set aside; the sauce will thicken as it sits.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl or ramekin that holds at least 12 fluid ounces/1½ cups, combine the dates, remaining 1 tablespoon butter, remaining 2 tablespoons cream and the baking soda. Microwave until the butter has melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Mash the dates with a fork until broken down.
  3. Add the flour, remaining tablespoon brown sugar, cinnamon and pinch of salt and stir just until combined. Spread into an even layer. Microwave until the top is just set, 45 seconds to 1 minute. Dollop with sour cream, vanilla ice cream or whipped cream and drizzle with the caramel sauce. Eat warm.

My only prior experience with dates is when my sister puts them in a brown sugar and pecan topping for baked Brie, which I never loved. This, however, is divine. I chopped the dates small and mashed them thoroughly in that step, and the resulting dessert had none of the dried fruit texture I dislike. I used 5 deglet noor dates because that's what I could find, and I thought they worked great. My husband was speechless after trying his serving and upon finishing it off he said he would happily eat this everyday.",

I found that I needed to microwave the cake about 15 seconds longer and the sauce was an overwhelming amount for the cake — way too sweet. Second time, I made half of the topping. It was near perfect, I wanted the cake itself to be richer. Third time, I still made half the topping but increased the dates to 3, I also added 1/2 tablespoon more of heavy cream to the cake because adding that 1 extra date dried the batter out a bit. This was the winning combination! This is such a genius hack recipe and it is scrumptious (my spouse agrees too.)",

Made this exactly as written and thought it turned out great, was super easy and just the right size for 2. It was better than the microwave chocolate mug cakes I've tried, probably due to the toffee sauce! The only thing I would change next time would be to leave out the cinnamon, but that's personal preference.",

As with any baking recipe, wet/dry ratios almost never work out right converted to GF so just expect to splash another bit of cream in and maybe some more sugar.  It seems like the batter should be something you could pour slowly if you wanted to, like a traditional cake batter would do.  Sadly my dates are old and dry so the mashing didn’t do much to express them - thankfully I have a jar of date syrup that’s been waiting for a nod, so will likely try that next time to make sure the sweetness is there in the batter.  I used coconut sugar but no concerns there, syrup turned out just fine.  I love STP as a dessert, excited to keep playing with this recipe!",
