Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon apricot jam
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
For the sauce:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup hot water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
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!
