sticky toffee pudding

Date-based steamed cake

Sticky toffee pudding is a British dessert consisting of a moist sponge cake made with dates, covered in warm toffee sauce.

Despite the name, it's a cake rather than what Americans call pudding—the British use pudding broadly for desserts.

Often served with custard or vanilla ice cream: We'll have the sticky toffee pudding for the table.
