 1 cup milk

Sauce

 1 cup cream

 4 oz (125g) butter

 1 cup sugar

 1/2 (half) cup hot water

Method

Beat the egg and sugar well in a mixer, (if you have one!). Add the jam. Sift flour, bicarb and salt. Melt the butter and add the vinegar. Add liquids to egg mixture alternately with the flour. Beat well and bake in a covered dish at 180 deg C (350 deg F) for 45 minutes to an hour.
