Course Dessert
Servings 4 people

Ingredients
  

For the malva:

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon Jam
  • 70 g Smarties chopped

For the Sauce:

  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C. Grease a small baking dish or individual ramekins.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, vinegar, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or ramekins. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • While the pudding is baking, combine the cream, sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
  • When the pudding is done baking, poke holes in it with a skewer or fork. Pour the hot sauce over the pudding, allowing it to soak in.
  • Serve the pudding warm, with custard

Notes

Try the homemade custard if you have time. It's absolutely delicious with the chocolate malva
