Sticky toffee puding with butterscotch

Missy_Spud

Im not sure where to post this, hopefully its in the right place..

I saw some dates for sale in my local shop for 39p a pack (200g) which is cheap compared to tesco at £1.40 last time i looked! so i picked up 2 packs and thought id have a go at making sticky toffee pudding, only used one pack still have one left over, thing is my pudding tastes nothing like sticky toffee pudding, whether thats me or the recipe i have no idea, im a good cook usually! :rotfl:

I followed a james martin recipe off the bbc website, its not exactly cheap to make as i used muscovado sugar/butter/cream etc for sauce.

Firsty does anyone have a recipe which makes it taste nice, and secondly anything i can do with the cake ive got, can i re-invent into anything or is it destined for the bin? i made a few small ones and a big one the small ones ive put in lots of the sauce my bf will eat them, but i made a big one to cut up into little pieces but i dont want to bother making more sauce and wasting ingredients as it doesnt taste that great

any ideas what to do?

As you say you are a good cook so maybe the dates werent the same as normal. Perhaps you could cut it into smaller portions and then make a separate sauce for them which might help?

Try the BBCgoodfood.com sticky toffee pudding, the sauce is divine.
