Ingredients

• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 250 milliliters milk
• 60 grams butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons apricot jam
• 1 teaspoon vinegar
• 250 milliliters water
• 100 milliliters heavy cream
• 120 grams brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a medium-sized baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, apricot jam, and vinegar until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

While the pudding is baking, prepare the syrup. In a small saucepan, combine water, heavy cream, and brown sugar. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 8

Once the pudding is fully baked, remove it from the oven. Using a skewer or fork, poke small holes all over the surface of the hot pudding. Slowly pour the warm syrup over the pudding, allowing it to soak in completely.

Step 9

Let the pudding rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
