Ingredients
For the Pudding:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon apricot jam
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vinegar (white or apple cider)
- 1/2 cup whole milk
For the Amarula Sauce:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup Amarula cream liqueur
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or individual ramekins.
- Mix sugar and eggs: In a mixing bowl, beat the sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. Add apricot jam and mix until smooth.
- Prepare batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the egg mixture. Stir in melted butter, vinegar, and milk until a smooth batter forms.
- Bake: Pour batter into the prepared dish and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Make sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cream, butter, and sugar. Stir until the butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in Amarula.
- Serve: When the pudding is hot out of the oven, pour the warm Amarula sauce over it slowly, letting it absorb. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Malva pudding is best served warm with extra sauce, ice cream, or whipped cream.
- The sauce can be made ahead and gently reheated before pouring.
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute Amarula with cream and a dash of vanilla.
