Malva pudding
This is soooo good and one of my all time favourite dessert recipes. Malva pudding is more of a winter dessert but if you have family that love food as much as we do and rich, hot, tasty desserts(not for weight watchers) that will take weeks of exercise to work off are appreciated not feared then this is for you. (6 people)

Wow. This was wonderful. I baked it for 20 minutes, added the sauce and baked it for a further 15 minutes. I used a sweet hannepoot instead of water / orange juice etc in the sauce. Thanks Graham, this was very simple and quick. My family loved it…we ate it before we even touched supper ;o)
Oh wow, was Googling for puds for my family and this one came up, going to double the recipe, as my partner will not stop at one serving
Enjoy it Chantel
it’s a keeper. G
This looks divine. I am going to make it right now. It is pouring with rain and bitterly cold, so will go down very well, dying for something sweeet!!!!
Hi Margie, can’t beat it for warming comfort food.. enjoy and cheers for now G
[...] Malva Pudding! Creamy apricot but not as inviting as the pudding. The nose was complicated and heavy with too much sophistication like a bear-queen (if that combination is possible) which stripped the palate like a solvent mixture designed to remove paint. [...]
You are a gift from the Gods. Truly u are, I love the simplicity of the recipes of your feel good food. Everytime I wanna reward myself (weight issues) i’ll make one of your dishes or bakes for the family.
Wow, thanks Wendy I just love that you are enjoying yourself.. You deserve a reward right now.. Cheers for now G
Hey Graham,

Hey Filoe, it’s been the most emailed since the day it appeared.. enjoy it G
Hi Graham
Thanks for this malva pud recipe, it looks great, looks about the best I have seen! I see this serves 6-8, how do I go about doubling it to serve 12-16 people? I know you can’t just double all the ingredients!
If you could let me know any tips that would be great, I am planning to show it off to some Aussie friends on Saturday!
Hi Cat, the best is to make 2 puds, it is really great as it is. Enjoy it G
Thanks Graham! I’m looking forward to it, been dreaming about it all week

Have a wonderful weekend. G
