Fatima Sydow Malva Pudding Recipe

Ingredients

This classic South African dessert is so popular it is often referred to simply as malva pudding. You’ll need the following to make the Fatima Sydow Malva pudding:

225g butter
4 eggs

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish with butter and set aside. Cream the 225g of butter and the sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time and stir in the apricot jam. Sift together the flour and bicarbonate of soda, then add to the creamed mixture.

In a small bowl, mix the vinegar with the hot water and stir into the pudding mixture. Finally, add the vanilla essence and pour into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean. While the pudding is baking, prepare the sauce.
