2 eggs, beaten
280 g (500 ml) cake flour, sifted
10 ml baking soda
188 ml milk
pinch of salt
30 ml smooth apricot jam
30 ml brown vinegar
Preheat oven to 180 °C. Cream butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add beaten eggs and fold in the sifted flour. Combine baking soda and milk and add to the mixture, along with the rest of the ingredients. Spoon into a buttered oven dish of 22 x 18 cm and bake for about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, make the sauce. When the pudding is done, take it out and immediately pour the warm sauce over it.
