Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 250g | Sugar |
| 1 | Egg |
| 15g | Butter |
| 60g | Cake flour |
| 250ml | Milk |
| 5g | Bicarbonate of soda |
| 1 | Salt |
| 250ml | Evaporated milk |
| 10ml | Vinegar |
| 10ml | Vanilla essence |
| 250g | Unsalted butter |
| 100g | Sugar (for sauce) |
| 125ml | Hot water (for sauce) |
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
-
-
Prepare pudding batter: In a mixing bowl, beat together the sugar, egg, butter, and jam until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy.
-
Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the cake flour, bicarbonate of soda, and salt.
-
Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix the milk, vinegar, and vanilla essence.
-
Combine mixtures: Alternating between the flour mixture and the milk mixture, fold them into the egg mixture until well incorporated.
-
Prepare baking dish: Butter a large baking dish and pour the batter into it. Cover the dish with foil, shiny side down.
-
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the pudding is firm and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove foil: About 10 minutes before the end of the baking time, remove the foil to allow the pudding to brown on top.
-
Prepare sauce: While the pudding is baking, prepare the sauce by combining the unsalted butter, sugar, and hot water in a saucepan. Heat the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts and the sugar is dissolved.
-
Serve: Once the pudding is done, pour the hot sauce over it. Serve warm, ideally with a dollop of whipped cream on the side for extra indulgence. 🍨
Tips:
- For an extra decadent touch, consider adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside the whipped cream.
- Leftover pudding can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Simply reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
- Feel free to customize the sauce by adding a splash of Amarula or brandy for a boozy twist.
- If you don’t have cake flour on hand, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with a small amount of cornstarch.
Enjoy this delightful taste of South Africa with your loved ones! ❤️
