Ginger Malva Pudding

This is a unique take on the traditional South African malva pudding. Serve hot with ice cream or whipped cream, or cold with hot homemade custard.

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan.

Step: 2

Combine 1 cup sugar, egg, and 1 tablespoon butter in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in apricot jam, vinegar, ginger, and baking soda. Add 1 cup milk and flour; beat until batter is smooth.

Step: 3

Pour batter into the prepared pan.

Step: 4

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.

Step: 5

Combine 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup sugar, and water in a saucepan over medium heat 5 minutes before pudding is done baking. Bring to a boil and stir until smooth. Pour hot sauce over pudding and let it sink into the pudding.
