About this dish
Malva pudding is a baked cake or pudding of South African cuisine. It contains apricot jam and has a spongy caramelised texture. A cream sauce is always poured over it while it is hot, and it is usually served warm with cold custard and/or ice-cream. Many South African restaurants offer the dish, which is thought to originally be of Dutch and Cape Dutch origin. It is widely available in South African (and in Botswana) supermarkets too, off the shelves.
