Chef and food stylist Sebastian Newman has worked on numerous popular television shows, including Expresso and Top Billing. The sweet-toothed 23-year-old regularly features a friend or family member on his YouTube cooking series, Bakes with Bas. Newman prepared a mouth-watering malva pudding recipe to warm us up.

- 2 eggs
- 2 tbs apricot jam

- 100ml milk
For the sauce:
- 100g sugar
- 150ml cream
- 100ml water
- 100g butter
Method:
- Preheat oven to 180ºC.
- Prepare sponge by whisking together eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the apricot jam.
- Sift together the dry ingredients and set aside. Melt the butter and stir in the vinegar.
- Add to the egg mixture, alternating with the milk and flour. Place into preheated oven for 30-35 min, until cooked through.
- While the sponge bakes, prepare the sauce by boiling together all the ingredients.
- Once the sponge comes out of the oven, poke holes into the sponge and pour over the hot sauce.
