Foodie Friday | Malva Pudding aka Bruin Poeding

Today I have another family favourite for you, and that is my mom’s malva pudding, or as we refer to it, bruin poeding. It’s the only thing my one brother always asks for when he hears us discussing desserts. It’s yummy on a cold winters day with Sunday lunch or even with a braai. Malva Pudding aka Bruin Poeding
