Mary Berry Easy Sticky Toffee Pudding is a perfectly moist, light dessert with lovely warm undertones of caramel. Even though this version doesn't contain dates, the muscovado sugar and treacle adds to its Christmassy feel.

Instructions
Make the sponge
Put all ingredients for the sponge into a mixing bowl except for the milk. Beat them with an electric whisk for around 30 seconds until they are properly incorporated. With a spatula, run along the edges of the bowl and check for any lumps of dry flour or any other bit that you missed.
With an electric whisk at medium speed, incorporate the milk gradually into the thick batter.
Line a baking tin with baking paper and pour the mixture in. Level the batter evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4 for 30 – 40 minutes.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let the sponge cool down a little bit before serving.
Make the sauce
Melt all ingredients for the sauce slowly in a saucepan. Stir regularly. Once the sugar dissolves and the butter melts, turn the heat up and bring the sauce to a boil. Stir a few times and remove it from the heat.
Cut the cake while it is still slightly warm. Served with a generous amount of the sauce. It also tastes amazing with a spoon of thick cream or dollop of ice cream.
