Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C and butter an ovenproof dish about 20 × 20 cm.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the sugar with the egg, then add the apricot jam and the melted butter.
- Fold in the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon, alternating with the milk mixed with the vinegar.
- Pour the batter into the dish and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a knife inserted in the centre comes out clean.
- While it bakes, make the sauce: heat the butter, brown sugar, liquid cream and vanilla until the sugar melts.
- As soon as the pudding comes out of the oven, prick it all over with a fork and pour half of the hot sauce over it.
- Let the pudding soak up the sauce for 10 minutes, then serve lukewarm with the rest of the sauce and the sour cream or a scoop of ice cream.
Variations and tips
No added sugar. Replace half the sugar in the batter with unsweetened applesauce.
