My sticky toffee pudding
The most decadent moist sticky toffee pudding. There is a gorgeous sticky toffee glaze poured over the cake after baking and then returned to the oven for a grill to set the glaze. Cream is then poured over the top of each slice before serving. I don't consider dessert to even count if it isn't chocolate... but this one? Who NEEDS chocolate after this is tried!!
