Ingredients
1 egg
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of cake flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tablespoon of apricot jam
1 tablespoon of Vinegar
1 cup of milk
2 tablespoons of butter
For sauce -
1 cup of milk
2-3 tablespoons of sugar
2- 3 tablespoons of butter
1 tablespoon of vanilla essence
Method
First step , pour the milk and vinegar into a small jug and let it sit one side.
Next, in a bowl whisk your egg, sugar, butter and jam for about 2 minutes, then add your sifted dry ingredients and your milk mixture and stir until well combined.
Pour in a square greased tin (not big pan) or glass proof baking dish, bake for half an hour at 180°C or when inserting skewer it comes out clean, also the cake will be a brown colour.
While the cake is baking put all your sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to the simmer and stir till hot; keep warm one side.
When your cake is done take out of oven and immediately pour over all the sauce.
For a bigger pudding simply double all ingredients.
In place of making your own sauce, heat half a can of evaporated milk with a teaspoon of vanilla essence until warm and pour over the malva cake immediately after taking out of the oven.
