Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make South African Malva Pudding.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and generously greasing a 1-quart oven-safe baking dish to ensure your creation slides out effortlessly.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, blend together milk, 2 tablespoons of butter, and a splash of vinegar.
Step 3
Heat this mixture over low flame until the butter melts, then take it off the heat and set it aside to cool slightly.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, sift together cake flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt, creating a light and airy mixture that will be the foundation of your dessert.
Step 5
In another bowl, grab your electric mixer and beat 1 cup of superfine sugar with the eggs on high speed until the mixture transforms into a fluffy, pale delight, which should take about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Gradually fold in the apricot jelly, ensuring it’s well incorporated.
Step 7
Now, gently combine the flour mixture with the egg mixture, alternating with the warmed milk blend, using a spatula to maintain that airy texture.
Step 8
Pour this luscious batter into your prepared baking dish and slide it into the oven.
Step 9
Let it bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center emerges clean, signaling that your pudding is ready.
Step 10
While the pudding bakes, whip up the sauce by heating heavy cream, the remaining 1/2 cup of butter, 1/2 cup of white sugar, and a splash of water in a saucepan over medium heat.
Step 11
Stir until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves, but keep a watchful eye to prevent boiling.
Step 12
Once your pudding is golden and baked to perfection, remove it from the oven and pierce it several times with a skewer or fork to allow the sauce to seep in.
Step 13
Immediately pour the warm cream mixture over the pudding, letting it soak in all that rich flavor.
Step 14
Serve it warm or chilled, and enjoy a delightful dessert that’s sure to impress!.
