Vegan Malva Pudding

Ingredients

For 8 portions

• 🍚 300g sugar
• 🥣 2 Tbsp jam
• 🌾 160g flour
• 🧂 1 Tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
• 🍚 0.5 Tsp baking powder
• 🧂 1 pinch salt
• 🧈 95g plant-based spread
• 🏺 2 Tbsp sunflower oil
• 🥣 2 Tsp white wine vinegar
• 🥛 200ml soy drink
• 🥛 125ml soy cream alternative
• 🥤 60ml tap water
• 🥄 1 Tsp vanilla extract

Method

1. Heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and grease a 20 × 25 cm baking dish.
2. Whisk the soy drink with the vinegar and leave for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
3. Melt 15 g of the spread. Whisk it with the soy drink mixture, the oil, 200 g of the sugar and the apricot jam until the sugar has mostly dissolved.
4. Sift in the flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and salt, and fold to a smooth, fairly runny batter.
5. Pour into the dish and bake for 35–40 minutes until deep golden brown and a skewer comes out clean.
6. A few minutes before it is ready, heat the soy cream, the remaining 80 g of spread, the remaining 100 g of sugar, the water and vanilla, stirring until melted.
7. As soon as the pudding comes out of the oven, prick it all over with a skewer and slowly pour over the hot sauce. Leave for 10 minutes to soak it up, then serve warm.
