Ingredients

Servings
  • ¾ cup (6floz/180ml) whole milk
  • ½ cup (4floz/120ml) heavy cream
  • ½ cup (3oz/85g) dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup (4floz/120ml) whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup (4oz/115g) butter
  • 3 tablespoons apricot jam, strained
  • ½ cup (4oz/115g) sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (1oz/30g) Butter, melted
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • cups (7½oz/213g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • a pinch of salt

Notes

  • Add sauce immediately. Be sure to pour the sauce over the pudding while it is still hot so it can properly absorb all that delicious liquid!
  • Make individual cakes instead! You can bake this pudding in 10 individual small ramekins to make a pretty presentation while serving. If you choose to use ramekins, they need less time to bake. Start checking for doneness after about 20 minutes.
  • Brighten the flavor with orange. Add a taste of citrus by using a tablespoon of orange juice in the sauce.
  • Spike the sauce. For an adult version, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of dark rum to the sauce before pouring it over the pudding.
  • Use fruit for a different texture. Try a fruity version of malva pudding by folding two chopped poached pears into the batter before baking.
