Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a square baking dish or ovenproof dish with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, apricot jam, milk, vinegar, and egg until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the pudding is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the pudding is baking, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, butter, sugar, hot water, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved, stirring occasionally.
- Once the pudding is done baking, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the hot sauce over the hot pudding.
- Allow the pudding to stand for a few minutes to soak up the sauce.
- Serve the Malva Pudding warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
