SAUCE:

This Malva Pudding recipe is a sweet and moist cake recipe straight from South Africa made with incredible apricot jam and heavy cream.

South African Malva Pudding Recipe

(6floz/180 milliliters) whole milk

(3 ounces 85 grams) dark brown sugar

apricot jam, (strained)

(1 ounces 30 grams) butter, (melted)

apple cider vinegar

(7½oz/213 grams) all-purpose flour

baking powder

baking soda

salt

½ cup (4floz/120 milliliters) heavy cream

(4floz/120 milliliters) whole milk

½ cup (4 ounces 115 grams) butter

½ cup (4 ounces 115 grams) sugar

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and butter an 8-inch (20cm) square baking dish.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the milk, brown sugar, eggs, apricot jam, melted butter, and vinegar until fully combined.

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, and then combine with the wet ingredients until thoroughly combined.

Pour into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-40 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Just before the pudding is done, make the sauce: in a saucepan over medium heat combine the cream, milk, butter, sugar, and salt and heat until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.

Once the pudding is done, poke holes all over the hot pudding with a skewer and then pour the warm sauce over the pudding. Allow resting for a minimum of 30 minutes.

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Store leftover pudding in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving, either in a 300°F (150°C) oven or in the microwave.

Thank you so much! Love this recipe, the family normally demolish it in minutes. I’ve decided to make this for Christmas so will be making in advance. It’s so delicious and a family favourite! Thanks again

Do you think it would work with almond flour as a replacement to the flour? This sounds delicious.

Tried this for the first time after hearing, Virat Kohli - Indian cricketer talking about this, and I must say it turned out very well. I can make a bit more of the sauce as it was totally absorbed into the cake. Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe.
