Malva pudding recipe. This spongy pudding with its hot syrup is delicious on cold evenings – or absolutely any time. The fact that it is so rich and sweet should not prevent you from going all the way when you serve it with custard, ice cream or cream, or even all three. Best served warm. It is also very easy to reheat in a microwave oven.
This pudding is so popular it is no wonder that you find it on the menus of many good restaurants. Apricot jam and vinegar are vital ingredients and somewhat unusual is the use of both baking powder and bicarbonate of soda as raising agents in this delightful pudding.
