Baie lekker…eks mal ook malva pudding
I’m lovin this… Especially with warm custard and whipped cream… Aaaaa heaven…
My son and I baked the pud on 27 April.The recipe yields a large pudding-at least six generous helpings.This is not one of those dense,dry malva puddings which I have lately encountered on some restaurant menus.Fluffy and spongy-it slurps up the delicious sauce and is just yummy.Easy and quick.A winner.
Absolutely pleasing to the sense of taste
An excellent recipe. Tried it 4 times. Flopproof. Even doubled and trebled it- no problem.
Yummmm.. My new favorite dessert..
Thx for the recipe!
I followed recipe exactly n baked using a muffin tray. Yielded 12 regular cupcake sized puddings. Yummmmmy!

Please advice me.
You may use dark brown sugar instead of white sugar
My daughter has been bugging me to teach her to cook and bake, I am an buy instant pudding kinda girl. We tried this recipe together and it came out absolutely heavanly! Our comments were,”It tastes better than the Woolies one”!
Malva pudding is by far the most loved winter dessert in our family. This recipe is a keeper! It never flops!
>Lindiwe, 24 Oct 2011: To get a nice brown sponge, check the amount of bicarb you add to your batter. Add half a teaspoon more if you prefer a darker pudding and/or bake 5 minutes longer.
Wow very nice for my first attempt! followed the recipe but on the sauce part i let it boil for a while till it thickened.
Tried this recipe not only is it yummy but also afFordable!!!! Tried it and wow! It was out of this world

Delicious. I followed the recipe and it came out perfectly. I no longer enjoy other malva puddings but the one prepared by myself with your help. Whenever we have family gatherings I’m requested to prepare malva. Thank you
Hey guys. I used granulated sugar instead of castor sugar and im only halfway through the baking process but pudding is sinking in the middle but turning brown as expected. Dint know where I went wrong 🙁
You may trickle sugar/maple syrup instead of white sugar to get nice brown coulor .

Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old
daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally
off topic but I had to tell someone!

Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That’s right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. Seo Plugin
