The holiday season is upon us, which means it's time for lots of sweet treats! Today, I'm adding another one to your list. This Sticky Toffee Cake tastes as good as it looks. Served with caramel sauce, ice cream, and chocolate almond toffee, it's a wonderful way to show guests how much you care.
As you know, the holiday season is one of my favorite times to be in the kitchen. I so enjoy creating goodies for snacking during seasonal get-togethers. Because the holidays seem to go by too quickly, I do whatever I can to savor the season and make every special moment last as long as possible.
That's why today, I'm sharing this recipe for Sticky Toffee Cake. I was inspired to make it after sampling Enstrom Candies Chocolate Almond Toffee. Their toffee is handcrafted in small batches and has become one of my favorites.
To capture the flavors of the delicious Enstrom Candies, I used a couple of their artisan products in this recipe. A generous sprinkling of their versatile Toffee Crumbs was the crowning touch on the cake, and a piece of their Milk Chocolate Almond Toffee garnished the plated dessert. It looks decadent AND beautiful, doesn't it?
This cake is actually quite simple to make. What makes it "sticky" is that the recipe uses dates. In case you've never eaten a date, it's kind of like nature's candy. Dates are super sweet and sticky inside. Fair warning, they are also a bit challenging to chop. But it's totally worth it because they give this cake a flavor that is beyond compare.
After the cake is baked, it's finished off with a quick caramel-like sauce made from brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream.
For some crunch and visual punch, I sprinkled the entire cake with chopped Enstrom Chocolate Almond Toffee Crumbs. They also add flavor and texture to this dessert.
Serve the cake with vanilla (or even eggnog) ice cream and another drizzle of that caramel sauce. A piece of Enstrom Milk Chocolate Almond Toffee perched on top finishes things off.
It's little details like these that give a professional touch. Whether you're baking for your family or gift giving, the extra effort is part of the pleasure of these special moments. Your guests, friends, and family won't forget this dessert anytime soon. Promise.
Let's bake!
