Sticky toffee pudding is not new to Brits and Aussies, and it's begun to take hold here in the U.S. It's a rich cake, flavored with dates and served warm with a thick gooey toffee sauce.

6Notes:*For the best toffee flavor, you must use dark brown sugar. **Use either salted or unsalted butter for pudding. Just be sure to include the 1/2 tsp. salt if using unsalted. The technique of soaking the dates in boiling water with baking soda may surprise you. The dates melt into the marvelous sweet sticky bits that then get stirred into the batter. You can use individual ramekins for this dessert. Use eight 3 inch ramekins, and bake for only about 25 minutes. The pudding can be made 1 day ahead and kept in airtight container. To serve, cut into wedges, top with a little sauce and reheat quickly in hot oven.
