Ingredients

To make Malva Pudding, prepare the following ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp apricot jam
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup hot water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Follow these steps to make Malva Pudding:


  1. Preheat oven & prepare the pan

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch (23cm) baking dish with butter.

  2. Sift dry ingredients

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

  3. Mix wet ingredients

    In a separate bowl, cream together the sugar and egg using an electric hand mixer. Add apricot jam, white vinegar, milk, and melted butter. Mix well.

  4. Combine wet & dry ingredients

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, a little at a time, until everything is smooth and well combined.

  5. Bake the pudding

    Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and bake in the oven for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center.

  6. Make the syrup

    While the pudding is baking, make the syrup by combining heavy cream, hot water, sugar, and vanilla extract in a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil and stir until the sugar dissolves.

  7. Pour syrup over the pudding

    Once the pudding has baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, pierce holes all over the surface of the pudding using a fork. Pour the hot syrup over the pudding.

  8. Serve warm

    Let the pudding absorb the syrup for about 10-15 minutes. Serve it warm with whipped cream, ice cream or custard.

Variations

There are many ways to customize Malva Pudding to your liking.

  • You can add some lemon zest or orange zest to the batter for a citrusy twist.
  • You can also add some chopped nuts like almonds or pecans to the batter for some extra crunch.
  • If you prefer a boozy dessert, you can add some Brandy or Rum to the syrup.
