Malva Pudding, South African Baked Dessert image

This is more delicious than the sum of its parts! It's a real traditional oldie. RETESTED ON 22 Oct 07: After reading the reviews, I have just made this again. I cut down a little on the sugar in the sauce (it was 5 oz originally), but it should actually be a sweet pudding!! The sauce was quite enough to moisten the entire pudding -- it should not be dripping with sauce, as you can see in the photographs. Do not serve immediately, but let it stand, keeping warm, to give the sauce a chance to soak in properly. Real cold-weather comfort food. It's rich, so a little goes a long way, and this pudding yields up to 6 servings. This winter you must try this!

Time 1h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 1/2 ounces sugar (3/4 cup, 200 ml, or 180 g)
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon apricot jam
5 ounces all-purpose flour (150 g)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter (a generous tablespoon)
1 teaspoon vinegar
1/3 cup milk
3/4 cup fresh cream (200 ml)
3 1/2 ounces butter (100 g)
3 -5 ounces sugar (90 - 150 g)
1/3 cup hot water (90 ml)
2 teaspoons vanilla essence

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 deg F/180 deg Celsius. (NOTE: I find my convection/fan oven very hot. I baked the pudding at 170 deg C and had to turn it down to 160 deg C/325 deg F for fear the pudding might burn. You know your oven -- Adjust accordingly).
  • Grease an oven dish. I used a 7 x 7 x 1 1/2 inch Pyrex dish. (18 x 18 x 4 1/2 cm)
  • Beat or whip the sugar and eggs. It's quickest in a food processor, or use electric beaters. Beat until thick and lemon coloured, then add the jelly (jam) and mix through.
  • Melt the butter (don't boil) and add the butter and vinegar to the wet mixture.
  • Sieve, or simply mix together: the flour, soda and salt.
  • Add this mixture with the milk to the egg mixture in the processor or mixing bowl. Beat well.
  • Pour into an oven-proof dish and bake until pudding is brown and well-risen -- depending on your oven and oven dish this will be between 30 - 45 minutes. (Mine was done in 30 minutes this time).
  • In a pot, melt together the ingredients for the sauce, and stir well.
  • Pour it over the pudding as soon as it comes out of the oven.
  • Leave to stand awhile before serving. Serve warm. Because it's rich it does not really need enhancement, but if you want, serve with vanilla ice cream.

I'm not a big fan of Malva pudding, but I have to admit that this recipe is pretty good. The sauce is especially tasty.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my Malva pudding didn't rise as much as I expected. It was still tasty, but it wasn't as fluffy as I hoped.

I'm not a fan of raisins, so I omitted them from the recipe. The Malva pudding still turned out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my Malva pudding didn't turn out as good as I hoped. It was a little dry and the sauce was too thick.
