Malva Pudding

A delicious South African pudding that will help you surprise everyone at home on a special occasion or to break the routine and enjoy a different dessert.

Ingredients

Pudding

• 1 tablespoon butter at room temperature
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons apricot jam
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons vinegar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt

Sauce

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 125 ml cream
• 4 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons water

Preparation

Pudding

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C
2. In a large mixing bowl, add the first 4 ingredients: butter, sugar, jam, and egg. Beat until it lightens and becomes a bit fluffier.
3. In a large measuring cup or bowl, add the milk, then the vinegar and vanilla extract. Whisk lightly.
4. In another cup, add the baking soda to the flour and stir it quickly.
5. Alternating between the milk mixture and the flour, add to the large bowl with the first mixture and stir well as you go.
6. Pour the mixture into a lightly greased cast-iron skillet.
7. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a knife comes out with fluffy crumbs attached (it is unlikely to come out clean) instead of raw batter.
8. The pudding will stay in its mold and rest a bit once the sauce is poured over it.

Sauce

1. Add all the sauce ingredients together in a pot and bring to a boil.
2. Let it simmer, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. This time will give the sauce a richer, deeper flavor.
3. Prick the pudding several times with a fork to help the sauce absorb and not just pool on the sides and soak only there.
4. Then pour the sauce slowly, making sure not to leave any part dry.
