STICKY TOFFEE PUMPKIN PUDDING

Steps:

• For Cake:Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter and flour a 2 1/2-quart baking dish.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Beat together butter and sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to medium and beat in eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly incorporated.
• Reduce speed to low, and add half the flour mixture, beating until combined. Add pumpkin, beat, and then add remaining flour mixture, and beat until just combined. (Do not over-mix.) Stir in vanilla and brandy. Transfer batter to dish, and bake until cake is puffed and springs back in center when gently pressed with a finger, and a toothpick comes out clean, about 40-45 minutes. The texture will be much moister than a regular cake, but the toothpick should still come out clean. (Think more like a cheesecake).
• For Sauce: Meanwhile, combine butter, sugar, brandy and cream in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium (so sauce does not boil over) and boil, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens and darkens slightly, about 4 minutes.
• Remove cake from oven and pierce holes at 1-inch intervals to bottom of cake with a wooden skewer. Pour HALF of hot sauce over cake and let soak 20 minutes. Serve warm with remaining sauce.
• If You're Planning to Serve the Cake Later: Cake soaked in sauce and remaining toffee sauce can be stored at room temperature up to 1 day. Before serving, warm cake in a 300 degrees oven 10 minutes, and warm the sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a baking dish with coconut oil.
• In a large mixing bowl, prepare the pumpkin cake batter by whisking together all the cake ingredients until smooth. Pour into greased baking dish and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the edges have set but the centre is still puddling-like.
• While the cake is baking, make the toffee sauce by heating all the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat until almost boiling. Then turn the heat down and simmer until reduced to half the volume. Be sure to occasionally give it a stir.
• Poke holes over the surface of the baked cake using a fork. Pour toffee sauce over the surface of the cake, allowing it to sink into the holes. Serve warm with ice cream (vegan as necessary) and an extra drizzle of toffee sauce.
