Ingredients
  

For the sauce:

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  • In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour and baking soda. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg and apricot jam to the sugar-butter mixture. Mix well.
  • In a small bowl, combine the milk and vinegar. Let it sit for a few minutes until it curdles slightly.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture and milk-vinegar mixture to the sugar-butter mixture, alternating between the two. Mix until well combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the pudding is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • While the pudding is baking, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan, combine the cream, sugar, butter, hot water, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce is smooth.
  • Once the pudding is out of the oven, poke holes all over the surface using a skewer or fork.
  • Pour the warm sauce over the pudding, allowing it to soak in. Let it rest for a few minutes to absorb the sauce.
  • Serve the Malva pudding warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
