Irish Coffee Malva Pudding

Give me Malva Pudding any day

Serves: 6

Ingredients (The flavour combinations malva pudding):

• 200g Sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 30ml (2 tbsp) Apricot jam
• 15ml (1 tbsp) Butter, melted + extra, to grease
• 10ml (2 tbsp) White wine vinegar
• 180g Cake flour
• 5ml (1 tsp) Bicarbonate of soda
• 2,5ml (1/2 tsp) Salt
• 80ml (1/3 cup) Milk

Ingredients (Irish coffee sauce):

• 125ml (1/2 cup) Fresh cream
• 60ml (4 tbsp) Irish whiskey
• 30ml (2 tbsp) Brewed strong coffee
• 100g Brown sugar
• 30ml (2 tbsp) Butter

• Ready-made fresh custard, to serve

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a 26cm x 16cm rectangular ovenproof dish (or any other similarly sized dish) generously with butter and set aside until needed.
2. Beat the 200g sugar and eggs together with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy, then beat in the apricot jam, melted butter and white wine vinegar. In a medium bowl, sieve together the cake flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, along with milk. Mix with a spatula until just combined - be careful not to beat or mix vigorously.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake in the preheated oven, 30 minutes, until brown and risen.
4. While the malva pudding bakes, make the Irish coffee sauce by combining all of the ingredients in a small pot and bringing to a boil, stirring until all of the sugar has dissolved. As soon as the pudding comes out of the oven, pour the sauce over it and allow to rest, about 10-15 minutes, before serving with warm custard.
