The recipe for a South African traditional malva pudding has been in our family for ages.
It is extremely easy to make and a sure treat for any Sunday lunch or whenever it fancies you really.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1.5 cups sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 Tbsp vanilla essence
- 2 Tbsp golden syrup
- 2 Tbsp white grape vinegar
- 2 tsp bicarb of soda, dissolved in a little water
For the syrup
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 125 ml butter
- 1 Tbsp vanilla essence
Method
Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Mix all the ingredients for the batter together and add the bicarb mixture right at the end. Pour into a deep dish or 2 smaller dishes. Bake for 1 hour.
In the meantime prepare the syrup sauce by combining all the ingredients and cook over medium to low heat.
Once the malva is cooked and ready, poke a few holes in it for the sauce to seep in and cover completely with sauce.
At this point you could return it to your oven for 5 minutes to caramelise even more, but this is not necessary.
Once the malva has soaked up all the sauce, serve with cold custard and/or vanilla ice cream.
