SLOW COOKER STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING
Sticky toffee pudding isn't so much a pudding in the American sense, but an extremely moist baked or steamed British date cake topped with a glossy sauce of brown sugar and cream. Steamed cakes - a genre unto themselves in Britain - are easily made in the slow cooker. This adaptation uses espresso powder in the cake and sauce to balance the honeyed taste of the dates and brown sugar: Nevertheless, it is still quite sweet, as it should be. This recipe can also be made more quickly in the oven, and the resulting cake's texture will be different than the steamed version - sliceable, like a moist quick bread.

Steps:
- Make the pudding: Generously butter a 2-quart soufflé dish, or another 2-quart oven-safe baking dish that fits into your slow cooker. In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, mix 1/2 cup water with 2 tablespoons espresso powder, and stir to dissolve. Put the chopped dates in a small saucepan, and pour the espresso-water mixture over the dates. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat slightly and let it simmer, stirring often and mashing the dates with the back of a spoon or a spatula, until the dates have absorbed most of the liquid and formed a paste, about 3 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the baking soda; the mixture will foam.
- In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and cardamom. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, eggs and the 2 teaspoons espresso powder until the mixture is smooth. Whisk the date mixture into the wet ingredients, followed by the dry ingredients, until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared dish.
- Pour 4 cups water into a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, then lower the soufflé dish into the slow cooker. The water should come about halfway up the sides of the dish. Lay a clean dishcloth or a double layer of paper towels on top of the slow cooker, leaving some overhang, and then top with a lid. (The cloth or towels will soak up condensation, and prevent it from dripping onto the surface of the pudding.) Cook until the pudding is firm and set on top, and the sides are just starting to pull away from the dish, 4 hours to 4 1/2 hours on low.
- Make the sauce: Combine the brown sugar, cream and espresso powder in a small saucepan. Add a generous pinch of salt. Bring just to a simmer, stirring with a spatula, over medium heat. Simmer, stirring constantly, and lowering the heat if the sauce starts to boil over, until the sauce is slightly darkened and reduced, about 5 to 8 minutes.
- Uncover and turn off the slow cooker, and let the pudding cool enough for you to reach in and pull the dish out. Using a cake tester or a skewer, poke holes all over the cake. Sprinkle the pecans evenly over the top, then slowly pour half of the sauce over the pecans, tipping the dish to evenly cover the pudding in sauce. Serve the pudding in scoops, warm or at room temperature, with the additional sauce on the side and whipped cream on top.
- Make the pudding: Heat oven to 325 degrees. Generously butter an 8-by-8-inch baking pan. Mix 1/2 cup water with 2 tablespoons espresso powder, and stir to dissolve. Put the chopped dates in a small saucepan and pour the espresso-water mixture over the dates. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat slightly and let it simmer, stirring often and mashing the dates with the back of a spoon or a spatula, until the dates have absorbed most of the liquid and formed a paste, about 3 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the baking soda; the mixture will foam.
- In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and cardamom. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, eggs and 2 teaspoons espresso powder until the mixture is smooth. Whisk the date mixture into the wet ingredients, followed by the dry ingredients, until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared dish. Bake until the top of the cake is risen and set and a cake tester inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean or with just a few damp crumbs, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce: Combine the brown sugar, cream and espresso powder in a small saucepan. Add a generous pinch of salt. Bring just to a simmer, stirring with a spatula, over medium heat. Simmer, stirring constantly, and lowering the heat if the sauce starts to boil over, until the sauce is slightly darkened and reduced, about 5 to 8 minutes.
- Let the cake cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then invert it onto a serving plate. Using a cake tester or a skewer, poke holes all over the cake. Sprinkle the pecans evenly over the top, and then slowly pour half of the sauce over the pecans, tipping the dish to evenly cover the pudding in sauce. Serve the pudding in scoops, warm or at room temperature, with the additional sauce on the side and whipped cream on top.

STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING
Simon Hopkinson is a first-rate pleaser, a chef who was never after recognition but one who wanted to produce terrific food his customers would love. He's best known as the founding chef of Bibendum, the London restaurant started by Terence Conran in 1987 and recognized as one of the restaurants that marked the end of that city's postwar cooking slump. His perfect (and not difficult) sticky toffee pudding is a dessert that according to Hopkinson first appeared on menus in Britain in the late 1960s but in fact has its origins in Canada. Whatever: it's insanely delicious. And it will please you.

Steps:
- Put the dates in a bowl and cover with the 1 cup boiling water to soften, at least 5 minutes. Heat the oven to 350 and grease a deep 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- Combine the 3 tablespoons butter, baking soda, a pinch of salt, Demerara sugar, 1/3 cup plus 1 teaspoon dark brown sugar, eggs, flour and vanilla extract in a food processor and pulse until just combined. Add the dates and 1/2 cup of the water to the mixture; pulse until nearly smooth (specks of dates should remain visible).
- Pour the mixture into the baking dish and bake for about 30 minutes, until just firm to the touch. (When the pudding has finished baking, remove from the oven and heat the broiler. Put the rack about 4 inches from the heat source.)
- Meanwhile, make the topping. Melt 5 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then slowly add 1 cup cream and 6 tablespoons dark brown sugar and 1/8 teaspoon salt, whisking continuously until the mixture bubbles gently and comes together to form a smooth mixture; turn off heat.
- In another small saucepan over medium heat, make the extra sauce. Melt 3 tablespoons butter, then slowly add 1 ¼ cups cream and 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Repeat the process above.
- Pour the topping (careful not to use the extra sauce) over the cooked pudding and place the whole thing in the broiler until it bubbles and looks sticky, 1 or 2 minutes (watch it closely). To serve, spoon into bowls and cover with the extra sauce. If you like, add a dollop of whipped cream.
SLOW-COOKER STICKY-TOFFEE PUDDING
The slow cooker is a perfect fit for this pudding-like cake: The gentle, moist heat keeps the cake nice and supple until it's doused at the end with nutmeg-laced toffee sauce. Make the cake a day ahead, and store it in the slow cooker (the fridge is quite full enough around the holidays!).

Steps:
- For the pudding: Bring the dates and milk to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat, and simmer until the dates begin to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat, and stir in the baking soda (it will foam a bit); set aside to cool slightly.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and pumpkin pie spice in a medium bowl until combined; set aside.
- Whisk together the sugar, butter, eggs and zest in a large bowl until smooth. Whisk in the date mixture until just combined. Stir in the flour mixture until just combined.
- Line the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker with a double layer of aluminum foil, pressing it smoothly into the corners, and spray well with cooking spray. Pour the batter into the foil, and turn the cooker on low for 4 hours. Fold a double layer of paper towels, and place just under the lid across the pot to absorb the excess moisture and form a tight seal. Cover tightly with the lid. Cook until the middle of the cake has set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly, 15 to 20 minutes.
- For the sauce: While the pudding cools, bring the sugar, cream and butter to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; cook, stirring often, until smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, and add the nutmeg.
- To assemble: Poke holes in the cake with a skewer, and pour half the toffee sauce over it. Let the cake absorb some of the sauce, then pour the remaining sauce over the cake. Let the cake cool, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10-inch round or square baking dish. Sift the flour and baking powder onto a sheet of waxed paper. Chop the dates fine. Place in a small bowl and add the boiling water and baking soda; set aside. In a bowl of electric mixer beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla; beat until blended. Gradually beat in the flour mixture. Add the date mixture to the batter and fold until blended with a rubber spatula. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Bake until pudding is set and firm on top, about 35 minutes. Remove from oven to a wire rack.
- Toffee Sauce: Combine the butter, heavy cream and brown sugar in a small heavy saucepan; heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil gently over medium low heat until mixture is thickened, about 8 minutes. Preheat broiler. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the sauce over the pudding. Spread evenly on top. Place pudding under the broiler until the topping is bubbly, about 1 minute. Serve immediately spooned into dessert bowls. Drizzle with toffee sauce and top with a spoonful of whipped cream.

Steps:
- Put the dates in a heatproof bowl, cover with 150ml boiling water, and leave to soak for 30 mins. Butter a 1-litre pudding basin and line the base with baking parchment.
- Tip half the butter, half the treacle, the vanilla, 75g of the sugar and the cream into a pan set over a medium heat. Cook for 4-5 mins, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Turn up the heat, bubble for 3 mins, then whisk in a pinch of salt. Pour a third of the sauce into the basin.
- Beat the remaining butter, treacle, sugar and the eggs together, then fold in the flour, bicarb, ¼ tsp salt, the dates and their soaking liquid. Spoon into the basin and smooth the surface, leaving a 1cm gap from the top. Cover with a double layer of baking parchment and foil, making a pleat in the middle so the pud can expand. Secure with kitchen string.
- Set the slow cooker to low. Sit the basin inside, then add boiling water so it comes halfway up the basin. Cover and cook for 7-8 hrs. Run a knife around the edge of the pudding and turn out onto a plate. Reheat the remaining sauce and pour over. Serve with ice cream.
