In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the egg, apricot jam, vinegar, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the pudding is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center.

While the pudding is baking, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, unsalted butter, sugar, and hot water. Heat over low heat, stirring until the butter and sugar are completely dissolved. Do not boil.

When the pudding is done, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the hot sauce evenly over the top.

Allow the Malva Pudding to sit for a few minutes, allowing the sauce to soak in.
