Mini Sticky Toffee Cakes

By

A brown sugar toffee sauce is the secret to these delectable cakes. The individual cakes are baked in the rich sauce, which soaks into the cakes as they cook and keeps them moist. They’re served warm from the oven and topped with an extra helping of the addictive sauce.

Preparation

Step 1

1 Heat oven to 350F. Spray 12 muffin cups with cooking spray. Heat all sauce ingredients in small saucepan over medium heat 2 to 4 minutes or until sugar and butter are melted and mixture comes to a boil. Spoon 1 tbsp sauce into each muffin cup; reserve remaining sauce. (Sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Warm sauce in small saucepan over medium-low heat before using.)

2 Whisk flour, baking powder and salt in small bowl. Whisk 2/3 cup brown sugar, eggs and egg yolk in large bowl until blended; whisk in melted butter. Whisk in flour mixture until almost smooth. Spoon about 2 1/2 tbsp batter into each muffin cup.

3 Bake 18-20 mins or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and cakes spring back when gently touched. Immediately run small knife around edge of each muffin cup to loosen; invert onto large rimmed baking sheet. Cool 5 mins.

4 Meanwhile, beat 1 cup cream and sugar in medium bowl at medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Serve warm cakes topped with warm reserved sauce and whipped cream. (Cakes can be made 1 day ahead. Cool completely and store in an airtight container. To serve, heat in 350F. oven 3-5 mins or until warm.)
