Ingredients

• 150 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons apricot jam
• 2 large eggs
• 250 milliliters milk
• 1 tablespoon vinegar (white or apple cider)
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)
• 250 milliliters heavy cream
• 125 grams unsalted butter
• 100 grams granulated sugar (for sauce)
• 125 milliliters water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a medium-sized baking dish with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the sugar, apricot jam, and eggs until pale and fluffy.

Step 4

Slowly stir in the milk, vinegar, and melted butter, blending them into the sugar and egg mixture.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until fully combined and smooth.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the pudding is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8

While the pudding is baking, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, butter, sugar, water, and vanilla extract.

Step 9

Stir frequently until the mixture is heated through, the sugar has dissolved, and the sauce is smooth. Do not let it boil.

Step 10

Once the pudding is baked, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the warm sauce evenly over the top. Allow the sauce to soak in for at least 10 minutes.

Step 11

Serve the Malva Pudding warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
