TRADITIONAL MALVA – GLUTEN & DAIRY-FREE
TRADITIONAL MALVA – GLUTEN & DAIRY-FREE
Traditional South Africa Malva - Gluten & Dairy-Free
Gluten-Free / Dairy-Free
There’s something timeless about malva pudding — its golden, syrupy richness, its tender crumb, and the way it brings comfort with every spoonful. Rooted in South African heritage and cherished across generations, this dessert has always been a symbol of home and heartfelt hospitality.
In this recipe, we honour tradition while embracing mindful ingredients. Using Gracious Bakers Baking Flour, we’ve reimagined the classic malva to be completely gluten- and dairy-free — without sacrificing its beloved texture or deep, caramel-kissed flavour. The result is a pudding that’s just as indulgent, soft, and soul-satisfying as you remember, made for everyone at the table to enjoy.
Whether you’re baking for guests or simply treating yourself, this malva is a celebration of inclusivity, warmth, and the gracious art of baking.
