Homemade Malva Pudding with Caramel Sauce Recipe by Lesley

Malva Pudding, a quintessential South African treat, is known for its chewy exterior and sweet, caramel-like sauce. While the classic serving methods include a saucy bath and a side of custard, whipped cream, or ice cream, there are numerous ways to elevate this dessert.

Serves: Approximately 8-9 muffin-sized servingsDifficulty: Easy peasy, even for beginners in the kitchen!Total Time: Around 50 minutes

Ingredients (14)

  • 1 cup standard sugar
  • 1 tablespoon margarine
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar (red wine works too!)
  • 2 tablespoons Apricot Jam (give Strawberry Jam a try too!)
  • 5ml Vanilla extract
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1 Cup self-raising flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 Cup milk
  • FOR THE CARAMEL SAUCE
  • 1 Cup standard sugar (try Treacle for a butterscotch twist)
  • 125g butter
  • A bit of cream, milk, or water (around 2-3 tablespoons)

Let's Get Cooking

  1. First, mix sugar and margarine in a bowl
  2. Add vinegar, vanilla, jam, and eggs, combining well
  3. Sift in the flour, baking powder, and bicarb, before blending with the wet mixture
  4. Add milk to the concoction
  5. Decide on your preferred form: You can go big with one baked pudding, or opt for mini-muffins (perfect for those with a smaller sweet tooth). Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees centigrade until it's a deep golden-brown hue, approximately 40 minutes for muffins and longer for the big dish
  6. In a saucepan, over medium heat, melt the sugar and butter. Add vanilla extract if you fancy (feel free to do so!)
  7. Once butter is melted, mix it up but leave it alone until the sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture is boiling away wildly
  8. Add cream, milk, or water to thin it down, just as you please! Pour this warm sauce over the cooked pudding, allowing time for the sauce to seep in

A Few Ideas to Mix Things Up

For a taste explosion, opt for fresh fruits (strawberries, blueberries, or peaches) to add natural sweetness and freshness. If you're in the mood for a full-on sweet encounter, try caramel sauce drizzled over the pudding. For the adult crowd, add a splash of brandy, sherry, or another liquor to the sauce. You could even spice things up with chopped almonds or pecans, or a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg. Why not even mix some vanilla or cinnamon yogurt to create a cool, tangy counterpoint to the warm pudding? Experiment and find what tickles your taste buds!

  1. When making the Malva Pudding, consider adding a twist to the caramel sauce by swapping standard sugar with Treacle for a butterscotch flavor.
  2. To add a fruity twist to the Malva Pudding, consider combining fresh fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, or peaches with the dessert.
  3. For a more adult version of the Malva Pudding, consider adding a splash of brandy, sherry, or another liquor to the caramel sauce.
