Malva pudding is a popular dessert in South Africa, often enjoyed at braais (barbecues) and special events. The pudding is soft, moist, and sweet, with a slightly caramelized taste from the syrup glaze. In this recipe, the addition of amarula liqueur and almonds adds another layer of flavor and texture to this classic dessert. Topped with warm custard, this dish is perfect for cold winter evenings or for treating yourself and loved ones to a decadent after-dinner treat.

Instructions

2.In a separate bowl, mix together 625ml of sugar, flour, baking soda, apricot jam, olive oil, vinegar, eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
3.Pour the mixture into the greased dish and bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through.
4.In a pot, heat up the water, butter, and 500ml of sugar until boiling point.
