Malva Pudding From South Africa

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a baking dish with butter.

In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in the apricot jam and vanilla extract until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

While the pudding is baking, prepare the sauce by combining heavy cream, sugar, and water in a saucepan over medium heat.

Stir the sauce until the sugar dissolves and it begins to simmer.

Remove the pudding from the oven and immediately pour the hot sauce over it.

Let the pudding soak for about 10 minutes before serving.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
