This Fireside Toffee Cake is a seasonal fine-dining–style variation of sticky date pudding, developed as a proprietary recipe for a client serving on their dessert menu. Designed to be plush, sticky, and sliceable, this 6-inch cake bakes directly over a layer of Fireside Sauce, with additional sauce reserved for plating or brushing for bakery polish.
The finished cake balances comfort and elegance: glossy, sticky edges, a soft seasonal crumb, and the option for mascarpone chantilly and candied date slices as garnishes. Perfect for bakery menus, plated restaurant desserts, or as a polished seasonal offering.
