Our first World Cup recipe, direct from South Africa!

WE asked for help recommending foods from each country taking part in the world cup - and here's our first recipe, all the way from Cape Town.
Thanks Jane!
We are all so excited in South Africa that the world it just about to start - this is a delightful dessert called Malva Pudding all the way from sunny South Africa 
 
· 250 ml self-raising flour
· 250 ml white sugar
· 250 ml milk
· 1 dessertspoon butter
· 1 teaspoon bicarbonate
· 1 teaspoon baking powder
· 1 heaped dessertspoon smooth apricot jam
· 1 egg – beaten
Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Melt the butter and in a separate bowl mix the butter, egg, milk and jam. Mix the dry and liquid ingredients well and scoop into an oven dish (give it a good coat of spray and cook first!).
Pre-heat oven to 180 deg C and bake for about 40 minutes or until brown and done.
For the sauce you will need:

· 250 ml cream
· 250 ml milk
· 125 ml butter
· 125 ml sugar
· 1 teaspoon vanilla essence flavouring
Heat all the ingredients in a saucepan and keep warm. When the pudding is ready remove from oven and pour sauce over the pudding. Use a knife to “help” the sauce to soak in.
Serve warm with the added wickedness of ice cream, custard or whipped cream!
