Introduction

This Spanish cake recipe is a variation from a classic sticky toffee pudding using moscatel raisins soaked in coffee and baked into a gooey sponge that is served with a rich toffee sauce made from sweet Pedro Ximenez sherry. It is an indulgent Spanish pudding that will see your dinner table with empty plates at the end of the meal.

Method

Pre-heat oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4.
Grease with butter a 30cm deep square baking tin and line the base and sides with greaseproof paper.
Put the raisins in a bowl with the baking powder and coffee extract and cover with the boiling water. Leave to stand for five minutes to soften.
Meanwhile, cream your butter and sugar until pale using an electric blender. Add the eggs a little at a time until the mixture is well combined. Fold the flour and baking powder carefully using a wooden spoon and finally add the raisin mix, followed by the chopped pecan nuts and fold the mix gently until well combined.
Pour the mix into the lined tin and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.
While the pudding is cooking, make the Pedro Ximenez toffee sauce by putting the butter, sugar, sherry and cream in a pan over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce has thickened and darkened in colour.
To serve, cut the pudding into square portions, pour over the toffee sauce and serve with some whipped vanilla cream.
