A cosy twist on the beloved classic, this cake reimagines sticky toffee pudding : dried figs in place of dates, the addition of apples for a fresh pop, and the whole thing crowned with glossy toffee apples. Dense yet tender, plush with fruit and rich with toffee, it’s simple enough for a weekend pudding, and special enough to be served at a gathering.Toffee apple pudding cakePrep 10 min
