Made this according to recipe. Sponge was not fully cooked on top, and a little overlooked at the bottom, topping was running and the butter didn't mix well, not it become sticky and thick. Very quick to make and satisfied a sweet craving, but will not make again,

My husband fancied sticky toffee pudding late one night (after he saw someone on TV eating it!). Being the dutiful wife....I made this for him. I halved the recipe and microwaved it in a pudding basin. Knocked up the sauce while the pud was standing, substituting a splash of milk for the cream as I didn't have any. It turned out light and fluffy and he really enjoyed it. What a winner......under 5 minutes and a happy Hubby!
