Malva pudding is an extremely popular South African dessert and my memories of enjoying it are always that of sitting around the braai(BBQ) with my friends and family with a bowl of warm malva and custard in hand. Not to say that this can only be enjoyed when you have a braai because this is really an any day, any time dessert!
Super easy to make and so delicious to eat.
Let’s get cooking….
Beat the eggs and sugar until fluffy, add jam and beat until creamy. Melt butter, add milk and vinegar and set aside.
Sift the dry ingredients into a separate bowl. Add half the dry ingredients into the batter alternating with half the liquid ingredients until everything is well combined. Pour into a butter oven proof dish and bake at 180C for 30 minutes
While the cake bakes, melt all the ingredients for the sauce on low heat until the sugar dissolves.
When the cake is done remove from the oven and immediately pour over the sauce. It will bubble up and float on top before being absorbed into the sponge.
Serve warm with custard.
