sticky toffee

British pudding sweet

Sticky toffee refers to a British dessert—sticky toffee pudding—consisting of a moist sponge cake made with dates, covered in warm toffee sauce: We ordered the sticky toffee for dessert.

The "sticky" distinguishes it from hard toffee candy, emphasizing the gooey, caramel-like sauce that saturates the cake.
