A recipe for sticky toffee ... water into a large mixing bowl and add the dates. Stir and set aside until lukewarm. Meanwhile, measure out all the other ingredients for the sponge.

This St. Paddy's Day, I'm filling layers of chocolate and vanilla cakes with extra Irish Bailey's Buttercream and piling it ...

Mix the cornflour and soft brown sugar and sprinkle over the top of the sponge. Take a large spoon and gently pour the hot liquid onto it and over the apple sponge.
