    Malva Pudding  is an easy to make recipe that is found in many of the safari camps in Botswana. It is sweet, delicious and a lovely dessert.  It is called pudding, yet has a texture similar to cake when done. The cake like texture is surprising after adding all that sauce halfway through the cooking process, which makes it incredibly moist.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 1 tablespoon butter
    • 1 tablespoon apricot jam or any flavor you like will work
    • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
    • 1 cup milk
    • 1 egg

    • In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients -- milk, melted butter, apricot jam and the vinegar. Mix well.

    • Pour into an oven-proof dish (about an 8x8 ) and bake for 45 to 50 minutes.
