For a deeper ginger flavor, consider adding a small amount of finely grated fresh ginger to the batter. If you don't have apricot jam, you can substitute another fruit preserve like peach or orange marmalade. The sauce is crucial for the pudding's signature texture and flavor; don't skip it! To prevent the pudding from sticking, ensure the pan is thoroughly greased and floured. Malva pudding is traditionally served warm, but it's also delicious at room temperature or even chilled.
