A baked apricot jam pudding with a warm cream and butter sauce poured over as it comes out of the oven.

Cook: 35 to 40 minutes

Method

Make the pudding:
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Beat sugar and egg until light and fluffy.
Stir in apricot jam.
In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture.
Add melted butter, vinegar, and milk. Mix until smooth.
Pour into a greased oven dish.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden and springy.
While it's baking, make the sauce:
In a saucepan, heat cream, butter, sugar, water, and vanilla. Stir until everything is melted and smooth. Don't boil it.
When pudding is done:
Remove from oven and immediately poke a few holes with a skewer or fork. Pour the warm sauce over the hot pudding. It will soak in.
