My friend shared this amazing malva pudding recipe with me. Malva pudding is a dense, spongy cake drenched in a rich, sticky butter sauce. My slow-cooker, tropical spin incorporates a creamy coconut sauce and juicy mangoes! —Carmell Childs, Orangeville, Utah

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/4 cup apricot preserves
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 can (13.66 ounces) coconut milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons white vinegar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • SAUCE:
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons apricot preserves
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 2 medium mangoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut, toasted
  • 1 container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed

Directions

  1. In large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, apricot preserves and butter until combined. Add coconut milk, vanilla and vinegar; stir to combine (batter will be thin). In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda and salt. Gradually stir flour mixture into batter just until moistened. Transfer to a greased 5-qt. slow cooker. Cook, covered, on high until a toothpick inserted in cake comes out with moist crumbs, 2-1/2 to 3 hours.
  2. Meanwhile, for sauce, whisk together coconut milk, butter, sugar, apricot preserves and extract until smooth. Poke holes in warm cake with a skewer or chopstick. Pour mixture evenly over pudding; let stand to allow pudding to absorb sauce, 15-20 minutes. Serve with chopped mangoes, coconut and a dollop of whipped topping.
