Make the Toffee Sauce + Cake
Layering Sticky Toffee Pudding
PREP. Trim tops of the cake to be level with the tops of the ramekins. Remove cakes and then cut in half horizontally. LAYER. Clean out ramekins and spoon 1 tablespoon of toffee sauce into the bottom of each ramekin. Layer bottoms of cakes back in the ramekins, followed by another tablespoon of toffee sauce and then the top piece of cake. Add another tablespoon of toffee sauce and spread evenly. BAKE. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
Storing Info
STORE your leftover best toffee pudding recipe in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge. This dessert is best eaten within a couple of days. To reheat. Microwave for 30-60 seconds and serve with a dollop of whipped cream!
If you don’t have ramekins, use a standard-size muffin tin to make several smaller cakes or an 8×8 glass or ceramic baking dish to make a large cake that can be cut into servings. Top with a little Whipped Cream, vanilla ice cream, or vanilla custard. The cream helps to even out all the flavors of this rich and delicious dessert. Recipe Video Recipe Video
