When it comes to indulgent desserts, Princess Kate has a particular fondness for a classic British treat that many adore: sticky toffee pudding.
Known for her athleticism and competitive spirit, especially during official engagements with Prince William, Kate also embraces the sweeter side of life.
After all, who can resist a delightful dessert every now and then?
Sticky toffee pudding, characterized by its rich sweetness and moist texture, stands out as Kate’s dessert of choice.
During a recent visit to Duchy College in Cornwall, Prince William casually confirmed this sweet detail while chatting with chef Darren Watson.
Their conversation took a delicious turn when Watson prepared a chocolate biscuit cake, another royal favorite, which sparked William’s playful acknowledgment of Kate’s love for sticky toffee.
The chocolate biscuit cake holds a special place in the hearts of the royal couple.
Not only did it feature as a layer in their wedding cake back in 2011, but it was also a cherished treat of the late Queen Elizabeth.
William expressed his enthusiasm for sweets, stating, “Thank you so much, that’s so sweet of you, I’ll take anything sweet; I’m obsessed with chocolate and anything sweet.”
Clearly, the royal family has a sweet tooth!
Darren McGrady, a former royal chef with 15 years of experience cooking for the royals, shared insights into the late queen’s dessert preferences.
He fondly recalled how Queen Elizabeth had a penchant for chocolate, leading to a unique tradition where leftover cake from afternoon tea was often shared among the staff rather than wasted.
This not only ensured that nothing went to waste but also allowed everyone to enjoy a taste of royal treats.
While McGrady never had the chance to prepare sticky toffee pudding for the Duchess of Cambridge, he confirmed its status as one of her favorites.
He even divulged some intriguing details about the special recipe used to create this beloved dessert for the royal family.
It seems that the kitchen at Buckingham Palace has its own secrets when it comes to crafting this iconic dish.
