I can't legitimately lay claim to this, but it is such a good recipe that I feel compelled to submit it just to share. So no prizes for me, just the satisfaction of the proselytizer. Malva Pudding is a popular South African dessert, found on restaurant menus and buffets throughout the country. It is often spiced with cinnamon, but I find this very plain version to be my favourite. I made this once for Thanksgiving at my mother's in Denver and wandered into the kitchen afterwards to find someone attacking the pan with a spoon. It's just that good. It's also quite simple and can be thrown into the oven as you serve the turkey so it comes out hot and ready to serve at just the right time. It should be served with custard, aka creme anglaise. (The 'sauce' in the recipe is really just how the dish is finished when it comes out of the oven.)
