ABOUT THE WINERY:
A decade ago, black and white rhinos seemed on the road to recovery, but since 2008 nearly 8,000 have been poached, pushing them back into a fight for survival. As a family-owned business rooted in responsible farming and environmental care, Van Loveren provides the ideal platform for Rhino Run to raise awareness and funds for rhino protection. With SANParks as its main beneficiary, Rhino Run donates a portion of every bottle wine sold — contributing over R600 000 to conservation to date. With every sip, you’re part of the story. 1.5% of every bottle sold goes directly to SANParks anti-poaching initiatives, helping to protect and preserve rhinos for future generations. Rhino Run is more than a wine —it’s a purpose, a story of hope, and a commitment to conservation. Learn more here. >

INGREDIENTS:

Chocolate Malva Pudding:

  • 1 cup of white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup flour
  • 6 tbsp cocoa powder
  • ~3 ½ Tbsp. melted butter (50 grams)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 cup milk

Chocolate Sauce:

  • 1 cup cream
  • ~7 Tbsp Salted butter (100 grams)
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3.53 oz 70% dark chocolate

DIRECTIONS:

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF and butter a medium sized ceramic oven dish with butter.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the egg, and sugar on high for about 5 minutes until pale and fluffy.
  • In a separate bowl sift or whisk the flour, cocoa and baking soda together.
  • Melt the butter in the microwave and then add the vinegar and add that to the batter.
  • While the mixer is still going, alternate between adding the flour/cocoa and the milk in parts until it’s well combined
  • Pour the batter into a greased baking dish approx. 8 in diameter (glass Pyrex or ceramic works well).
  • Spray the one side of a piece of with foil well with baking spray, cover the pudding properly and bake for 45 minutes.
  • The pudding is ready when it has risen and is springy to the touch.
  • While the Malva pudding is baking, make the chocolate sauce. Place all the ingredients into a double boiler or in a bowl over a small pot of boiling water and stir until the sugar has dissolved and the chocolate melted. You should have a smooth warm sauce.
  • As soon as the malva pudding comes out the oven, pour over ¾ of the sauce. It will seem like a lot but it does soak in. Reserve the rest to serve warm with the pudding.
  • Serve chocolate Malva with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
