MALVAPOEDING

This is one of the most moist cakes I have ever eaten. It taste like caramel ice-creams (in my opinion) :).  

Recipe adapted from two websites: Greedy Gourmet and Food.

Ingredients for cake:

• 3/4 cup caster sugar
• 2 large or 3 normal size eggs
• 15ml (1 tbsp) smooth apricot jam
• 150 g (6½ oz) plain flour
• 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• pinch of salt
• 1,5 tbsp butter, melted and cooled
• 5ml (1 tsp) white vinegar
• 1/3 cup milk

Ingredients for sauce

• 1 cup double cream
• 100ml butter
• 0,5 cup white sugar
• 0,5 cup milk
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 170°C.
2. Beat the caster sugar and eggs until fluffy and light.
3. Beat in the apricot jam.
4. Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt together 3 times.
5. Melt the butter with vinegar and milk over low heat.
6. Fold the flour mixture and the milk mixture alternately into the egg mixture and pour the batter into a greased ovenproof dish.
7. Bake the pudding for about 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Meanwhile, place the cream, butter, sugar, milk and vanilla into a saucepan and stir over moderate heat until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Do not allow the mixture to boil.
9. Remove the pudding from the oven, pierce it in a number of places with a skewer and pour the hot sauce over it immediately.
10. Serve hot or cold with cream.

Smacznego :))
