Recipe: Traditional Malva Pudding – Just like grandma used to make
You want pudding and in South Africa, Traditional Malva Pudding is on the menu pretty much all of the time. Moist, cakey pudding with sweet sauce, ice cream and maybe some custard, malva pudding has everything you need in a dessert.
How can you go wrong with butter, sugar and apricot jam? All of these ingredients create such a delicious dessert with the rest to hold it all together. Bake the pudding before lunch and pour the sauce over so that it can soak in after also poking a few holes in the pudding. Give it a quick bake in the oven to warm up when lunch or dinner is done. Serve with a big scoop of ice cream or custard and if you feel the need, there is nothing stopping you from adding both. Our Traditional Malva Pudding can feed a well-sized group of people with ease.
The dessert you always expect to see at Sunday lunch in South Africa, our Traditional Malva Pudding will feed your family and fill everybody with joy.
