Baking is definetely not an art i have mastered so when i do bake i stick to fairly simple recipes with minimal room for failure. Malva pudding is one of those go to recipes especailly on a winter's day. There's nothing greater than ice cream melting onto hot, sticky and sweet malva pudding. This is my take on the classic recipe. 

What You'll Need 

Pudding 

  • 1 Cup All Purpose Cake Flour 
  • 2 Eggs 
  • 1 Tbs Apricot Jam

  • 1/2 Cup Cream 
  • Zest 1/2 Orange 
  • 1/4 Cup Water

Prep - 5 Minutes 

  • Zest your orange using a grater or zester - Make sure you don't zest to close to the white part of the orange, it is bitter 
  • Preheat Oven at 180 degrees bake 
  • Grease your baking pan, you can use any cake pan, muffin tray works too for individual puddings.
