Brandy and Cola Malva Pudding
The best just got better. My original malva potjie recipe is based on the very originally penned malva recipe, but with a new sauce. A real malva pudding is a two-fold affair. You bake a sponge-like cake and this is dressed with a caramel-like sauce shortly before serving. Said sauce is not as thick as that of a sticky toffee pudding so the sauce is sucked up by the cake part, the upshot being a wonderful end result that we all came to love. What we’re doing in this recipe is cutting the sugar and water ingredients from the original sauce and adding a cup of cola that obviously contains sugar and water. It also contains caramel notes, which really is the plan here. The cream stays and lastly I add brandy to the sauce, because where there’s a fire, a braai and cola there should obviously be brandy.
