My Family Devoured This Amazing Sponge Cake / Malva Pudding Recipe

In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of warm butter, 150 grams of sugar, and 2 fresh eggs to create a homogeneous golden batter.

Add apricot jam, vinegar, and milk to the batter and mix well. Note that vinegar helps achieve a soft and spongy texture by reacting with baking soda.

Sift in flour and baking soda into the batter, then mix until combined.

Add a pinch of salt and whisk the batter one final time before transferring it to a greased oven-safe form.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).

Transfer the batter into an 8x8 inch (20 by 20 cm) form, ensuring the batter is evenly distributed.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, checking for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake.

While the cake is baking, prepare the sauce by boiling 80 milliliters of water in a saucepan.

Add butter and the remaining sugar to the boiling water, stirring until the butter is almost melted and the sugar is dissolved.

Pour in heavy cream and 1 to 2 teaspoons of vanilla essence, stirring constantly until it reaches a slight boil, then remove from heat and cover.

Once the cake is done, pour the warm sauce over the hot cake, allowing it to absorb the sauce.
