Marvellous Amarula Malva Pudding

Marvellous Amarula Malva Pudding

A South African classic with a luxurious twist! This golden, spongy malva pudding soaks up a dreamy Amarula, turning every bite into pure decadence. Served warm with cream or custard, it’s nostalgic, indulgent, and downright irresistible.

Serves 6

55 min


2 XL Free range eggs
200g Castor sugar
100g Butter, melted
1 tbsp Vinegar
175g Cake flour
125ml Full Cream Milk
1 tsp Baking powder

 

For the syrup

100g Butter
150g Treacle sugar
250ml Amarula
125ml Cream

1 Cream the eggs and sugar together in a large mixing bowl until pale and fluffy.
2 Sift in the cake flour and baking powder. Mix well with a wooden spoon until the batter is smooth. 
3 In a separate small bowl, mix together the melted butter, vinegar and milk.
4 Add to the wet mixture and incorporate well.
5 Grease 2 cast iron pots with non-stick cooking spray or butter. Fill the little pots until ¾ full and place in a preheated oven of 180° C for 15 – 20 minutes, or until starting to brown.
6 Turn the temperature down to 160° C and cook for a further 20 minutes, or a wooden skewer comes out clean.
7 Melt all the ingredients for the syrup together in small pot over low heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. 
8 As soon as the puddings come from the oven, cover the top of the malva with a generous amount of Amarula syrup. Allow to soak in for 5 minutes. Should you have any syrup remaining, repeat this step.
9 Serve with lashings of warm custard and pouring cream.
