Welcome to Steve's Kitchen. We've saved one of my favorites for last, the last in this
series anyway
sticky date pudding this is delicious and so easy to make
we are going to want some dates and we're going to just dice these up. Come
down here we're taking eight dates just slice them down the middle and then dice
them up into small pieces. We're just going to add them into a little bowl with some
all purpose flour and just coat them over like that. In your mug you're going to
want one tablespoon of butter 1 tbsp of soft brown sugar
this is for our caramel sauce a tablespoon of maple syrup and we're
going to caramelize this in our microwave for just forty seconds on high. Now
when that comes out it is going to be bubbling away like that
take some fresh cream 1 teaspoon drop it into your caramel sauce and give it a
little whisk through and that smells absolutely delicious. Set that aside. Now
we're going to make the batter that holds this thing together. I want a couple of
tablespoons of soft brown sugar in a bowl 2 tablespoons of soft butter and I'm
just going to use a whisk to bring these together. Let's take an egg and just beat
that in as well and get a nice smooth batter into which we're going to add two
tablespoons of milk and I'm going to put a tablespoon of molasses for an extra
darkness to this mixture. Now add in 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1/4 of
teaspoon of baking powder and 1/4 of a teaspoon of baking soda and then we're going
to whisk this up to a smooth batter. So we've got this lovely smooth batter don't
worry if it splits a little bit that'll be the baking powder reacting it'll come
together when we bake it. Now our caramel will have cooled down a little bit at
the bottom of the cup there we're just going to take a few of those dates and
just drop them on top of the caramel the rest of the dates we're just going to
add into our batter and then just gently fold those into the mixture. Then we're just
going to take this mixture and you will see it split a little bit there as I
say don't worry about it it's still going to look and taste delicious. Now if I can
guarantee you one thing apart from this being delicious is that caramel
sauce is going to bubble over the top so we're going to take a bowl or plate
and pop our cup into it like that
over to the microwave we're going to cook this for about a minute twenty it really is that
quick. I told you the sauce the caramel sauce is just going to explode out the
center. This is absolutely smelling delicious. Now you could you could eat
it like this but I like to pour this particular mug cake out. Now come down
here and we going to use the same plate that we used to cook it on, give it a little
shake and out comes our beautiful sticky date pudding this is as good as anything
that you could bake in an oven and I can tell you when we created this one, it tastes
delicious. Now serve it with ice cream or serve it with fresh cream which ever way
you decide hot wonderful sticky date pudding with a lovely caramel sauce. You just can't beat it.
Sorry to those that
don't like the sound of my smacking lips but smackingly beautiful this really is. I'm going
in for a second piece. It is almost like a perfectly steamed ginger pudding but
it's not, it's a sticky date pudding, it is fantastic. If you like this series give
