South African Marshmallow Pudding
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
  • 1 1/3 cups cake flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup superfine sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon apricot jelly
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup water, orange juice, or sherry
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (the temperature at which the oven is set). Ensure a 1-quart oven-safe baking dish is coated with a non-stick substance to prevent the cake from sticking.
2
Heat milk, 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, and white vinegar in a small saucepan over low heat until the butter has melted. Take the saucepan off the heat; set it aside for now.
3
Separately, whisk together 1 cup of fine sugar and eggs in a separate bowl using an electric mixer on high speed until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and almost doubles in volume, taking about 5 minutes. Gradually incorporate the apricot jam into this mixture.
4
In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup of flour, baking soda, and salt using a whisk until well combined. Set this mixture aside for the time being.
5
Using an electric mixer on high speed, combine the sugar and egg mixture until well blended. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture into this mixture, alternating it with the warmed milk mixture using a spatula. Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
7
In another saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of heavy cream, the remaining 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, 1/2 cup of white sugar, and water over medium heat until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Do not allow this mixture to boil or come to a boil.
8
Remove the cake from the oven; use a fork or skewer to pierce it several times. Immediately pour the hot cream mixture over the cake, ensuring that the entire surface is covered.
9
Serve the cake hot or cold, depending on your preference.
