Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Malva Muffins

  • 270g (1 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp) packed Demerara Sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 30g (1 1/2) Tbsp apricot jam
  • 30 ml (2 Tbsp) butter
  • 7.5 ml (1 1/2 tsp) vinegar
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) – milk
  • 225g (1 cup) flour
  • 7.5 ml (1 1/2 tsp) baking soda
  • 2.5 ml (1/2 tsp) salt

For the Sauce

  • 250ml (1 cup) cream or if you prefer you can also use Ideal Milk (less rich)
  • 150g (1/2 cup) butter
  • 100g (1/2 cup) packed brown sugar or white will work as well
  • 62ml (1/4 cup) hot water
  • 5ml (1 tsp) vanilla paste or vanilla extract if you do not have paste.

Instructions

For the Malva Muffins

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F and grease the wells of the muffin pan well. I used regular spray and cook, but use whatever you prefer.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together until light and fluffy, then add the apricot jam.
  3. Melt the butter and beat into the mixture along with the vinegar and milk.
  4. Sieve the dry ingredients and fold into the wet mixture until well incorporated.
  5. Divide the malva muffin mixture into 8 portions (½ cup) and fill the muffin holes, leaving space for the sauce.
  6. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown, depending on your oven. 

For the Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan or large microwave bowl (which I do), heat all the ingredients until the butter is melted and the sugar has dissolved.
  2. Pour ½ cup of the sauce over the hot Malva Pudding Muffins and enjoy with cream or ice cream.
