Ingredients: 1 cup sugar; 2 eggs; 2 tbsp apricot jam; 1 cup flour; 1 tsp baking soda; 1 tbsp butter; 1 tsp vinegar; 1 cup milk; 1 cup cream plus butter and sugar for sauce

A South African sticky sponge pudding drenched in a hot cream sauce the moment it leaves the oven. Pouring the boiling sauce over the pudding while it's still hot is what lets the sponge soak it in fully, turning dense and syrupy rather than sitting wet on top.
