My review
South African Malvapoeding (Marshmallow Pudding)
1
HYNCH
"This rich, South African pudding contains no marshmallows, but probably got its name from its spongy texture! Delicious served hot or cold with cream."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter or margarine together with vinegar and milk. Remove from heat, and set aside. Meanwhile, sift flour, baking soda, and salt together into a separate bowl.
- Beat 1 cup sugar and eggs with an electric mixer on high speed until fluffy and light colored, about 5 minutes. Gradually mix in the apricot jam. Fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture alternately with warmed milk mixture using a spatula. Pour batter into a greased, 1 quart oven-proof baking dish.
- Bake approximately 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Place cream, butter, 1/2 cup sugar, and water in a saucepan and stir over moderate heat until the butter has melted and sugar is dissolved. Do not allow the mixture to boil.
- Remove pudding from the oven, pierce several times with a skewer or fork, and pour the hot cream mixture immediately over the pudding. Serve hot or cold.

This is an incredible recipe, and one that (for once) I followed to the letter. For those expecting a pudding... don't. It is a rich, moist and spongy cake. The sauce makes this a decadent de...

Cake flour: has a less expansive gluten for crumblier texture. Acceptable substitution is to remove 2 T all purpose flour per cup as required for the recipe. I think that commercially availab...
