About apricot pudding
Apricot pudding is a popular dessert prepared with fresh apricots and other ingredients. It is typically made in layers, including cake, apricot jam, custard, and whipped cream. First, the base of the cake is prepared, which can be made using any type of sponge cake.
On top of this, a layer of apricot jam or sliced apricots is added. Next, a thick custard is prepared and gently poured over the layer of apricots.
Once the custard layer is fully set, another layer of apricots is added on top. After that, a thick layer of whipped cream is spread over everything, giving the dessert a light and airy texture.
For garnishing apricot pudding, you can use apricot slices, nuts, and sometimes even chocolate shavings. This dessert is not only delicious but also visually appealing. It doesn’t take much time to prepare and can be served on any special occasion.

In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and baking soda well. Set it aside. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter batter using the cut and fold method, mixing gently.
Gradually add milk as needed to the batter. The cake batter should neither be too thick nor too thin. The consistency of the batter should be like a normal cake batter.
Now, take a cake tin, grease it with oil, on the other side, add appricot jam into cake batter, mix it. and pour into cake tin. Bake it in a preheated oven at 180°C for 25-30 minutes. Once the cake is baked, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.

How to make custard slurry?
Making custard slurry is very easy. Take 2 teaspoons of custard powder and mix it well in slightly warm milk to ensure there are no lumps. Once mixed, add this slurry to the boiling milk. Before adding the slurry to the milk, mix it again well in the bowl to make sure the custard powder at the bottom of the bowl is fully incorporated with the milk.
If you prefer, you can add a layer of apricot jam in the middle of the pudding instead of using apricot cake. This will give the pudding a slight tangy flavor.
