We are at the half way point of this mega marathon and I have sweet treat to celebrate successfully getting to this point. Malva Pudding is a dessert from South Africa. It contains apricot jam and has a spongy caramelized texture. A sweet cream sauce is poured over the cake as soon as the cake comes out of the oven. When I read the recipe I thought it resembled tres leche cake – where a sponge cake is baked and then soaked with sweet milk mixture. But that’s where the resemblance ends. The cake part actually has more of a pudding texture.I used the recipe from Food52. I followed the recipe to the T except for reducing the quantity of sugar in the cake and in the syrup. Also don’t pour all of the syrup at once on the hot cake. Gradually pour it, letting the cake absorb the syrup slowly. I poured more syrup while serving.It is best to serve this pudding warm out of the oven. But the leftovers can be refrigerated and warmed in the microwave for equally delicious treat. My kids and I thoroughly enjoyed this yummy treat. My husband wasn’t a big fan of the squishy pudding texture which means more for us 🙂Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM# 75.
