Ingredients

PUDDING:
  • 1 cup sugar 200 gms
  • 1 egg
  • 1 TBS apricot jam smooth
  • 1 cup flour 140 gms
  • 1 tsp baking soda or bicarb
  • pinch salt
  • 1 tsp butter melted
  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • 1 cup milk
SAUCE:
  • 1/2 cup cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 125 gm butter
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup orange juice original recipe is hot water

Instructions

How to make this pudding:
    Cup of Yum
  1. preheat the oven to 180 C (350F)
  2. beat the egg, sugar, and jam with an electric mixer on high for about 5 minutes
  3. in a separate bowl sift the flour and bicarb of soda
  4. melt the butter in the microwave and then add the vinegar
  5. whilst the mixer is still going alternate between adding the flour and the milk in parts until it's well combined
  6. add the butter and vinegar mixture
  7. empty the batter into a greased baking dish approx 20cm in diameter (glass pyrex or ceramic works well)
  8. cover with foil and bake for 45 mins (I doubled the recipe so found it needed a bit longer)
  9. The pudding is ready when it has an even golden brown colour over the top, bake a bit longer if it is still pale in the middle
  10. melt all the sauce ingredients in a pot on the stove and pour this over the pudding as soon as it comes out of the oven

Notes

  • Malva pudding can be made in advance and reheated in the oven or microwave briefly.
  • To reheat, cover it well with foil and heat at 160C for about 15 - 20 minutes.
