Recipe: Malva Pudding


Malva Pudding Ingredients (serves 6)

2 large eggs room temperature
1 cup castor sugar
1 tbsp smooth apricot jam [do NOT use whole fruit]
6½ oz [185g] cake flour
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
½ tsp salt
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp vinegar
½ cup [125ml] milk
A little butter for greasing
Or even vanilla ice-cream.

For the Sauce

1 cup cream
½ cup butter
½ cup soft brown sugar
½ cup water
2 tsp treacle
½ tsp Vanilla essence

To Make the Malva Pudding

Preheat oven to 350oF [180oC]

First make the batter

Beat the eggs and castor sugar, in a large mixing bowl, until light and fluffy. Add the apricot jam and beat well. In another bowl, sift together the flour, bicarbonate of soda and the salt. Melt the butter, over low heat, in a saucepan. Add the vinegar and milk. Alternating the flour and milk mixtures, fold into the egg mixture. Grease a baking tray and pour the pudding batter into it. Bake, on the middle shelf, for 45-50 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean

Meanwhile make the sauce

Heat the cream, butter, brown sugar, water and treacle in a saucepan over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved and the butter melted. Do NOT let the sauce mixture boil. Remove from the heat and add the Vanilla essence. When you remove the pudding from the oven, pierce a number of times with a skewer, or the tines of a fork. Pour the hot sauce over it. The holes, previously made, enable the sauce to better permeate the Malva Pudding.

Serve the dessert hot with Custard or Whipped cream... Malva pudding is also delicious eaten cold, with cold custard, whipped cream or even vanilla ice-cream.
