Cape Malva Pudding

A number of people have begged me for the recipe over the years and as it's finally out there in print (a famous celeb chef used it as part of his meal recomm's in Family Circle Mag April 2006 ), it'd be silly not to share it with you.

However in the magazine it gave the incorrect cooking times :wall:

Enjoy!

Hi Kimbo

We use an Italian double-zero flour (avail from most deli's). In SA you'd use 'Cake Flour' but this is the closest you can get to the same result.

Alternatively you can use a bread flour or plain flour.

Oh yes... it's lovely

Women can't seem to get enough :woof:
