INSTANT POT AMARULA MALVA PUDDING
Serves 6-8
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes

PUDDING
340g (375ml or 1 ½ cups) white sugar
295g (500ml or 2 cups) self-raising flour
10ml (2 tsp) bicarbonate of soda
2 large eggs, whisked
5ml (1 tsp) white vinegar
15ml (1 tbsp) smooth apricot jam
2.5ml (½ tsp) salt
250ml (1 cup) milk

SAUCE
1 x 380g tin evaporated milk
20g salted butter
250ml (1 cup) white sugar
80ml Amarula or milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

Method:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients and whisk to form a thick batter.
2. Grease a large bundt tin - silicone or metal.
3. Pour the batter into the bundt tin filling it ¾ of the way to the top. Wrap the entire tin very well in foil.
4. Place the steaming rack inside the inner pot and add 2 cups water. Wrap the pudding in foil and lower on top of the rack.
5. Select Pressure Cook and change the time to 40 minutes on High. Allow the pressure to release naturally for ten minutes, then release the remainder pressure manually. Once the valve drops, carefully remove lid and lift the pudding out (keep the foil on to keep warm).
6. Next prepare the sauce. Pour the water out of the inner pot, then add the evaporated milk, butter and sugar. Set the Instant Pot to a simmer by pressing the Sauté and change time to 15 minutes. Once complete stir in the Amarula and vanilla.
7. Unwrap the foil from the pudding (it should still be hot) and immediately pour the sauce over to soak completely.
8. Serve with ice cream or custard.
