📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Malva pudding is a traditional South African dessert with Dutch influences. A fluffy sponge made with apricot jam is baked, then a hot sauce of butter, cream, and sugar is poured over as it comes out of the oven to soak in. Moist with a caramel-like flavor, it's eaten warm with custard or ice cream.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At the end of a winter Sunday lunch, hot sauce is poured over a steaming pudding fresh from the oven, and the family's spoons all reach in at once.
