• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

Pinch of salt

1/4 cup apricot jam (or apricot preserves)

1 egg

1 tablespoon unsalted butter (softened at room temperature)

1/2 cup sugar

1 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon white vinegar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup evaporated milk

1/4 cup sugar

8 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Butter an 8 by 11 inch oven-safe pan.

Sieve the flour, baking soda and salt into a large bowl.

In another bowl, combine the egg, sugar, butter and apricot jam/preserves. Beat together until pale in color.

Add the flour to the bowl and beat in.

In a bowl, mix the milk and vinegar together then add the vanilla extract.

Add the milk to the egg mixture and mix well to combine. Pour batter into prepared pan. Let it bake for about 30 minutes until brown at the top and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

While the pudding bakes, make the sauce. Combine butter, sugar and evaporated milk in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer on medium heat while stirring continuously until the butter and sugar completely melt.

As soon as the pudding comes out of the oven, pour the warm sauce over it. Let it stand for about 10 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed.

Serve the Malva Pudding warm with whipped cream or ice cream if you like. But it is really great as it is!
