Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (softened)
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups milk
• 1 cups brown sugar (packed)
• 1 cups water (boiling)
• 0.5 cups maple syrup

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking dish.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Mix in the vanilla extract, followed by the milk, until well combined. The mixture may look slightly curdled; this is normal.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until a smooth batter forms. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and set aside.

Step 7

In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, boiling water, and maple syrup. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely, then carefully pour the mixture over the batter in the baking dish. Do not stir.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown on top and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.

Step 9

Allow the pudding cake to cool for 5 minutes before serving. The cake will have a spongy texture on top with a caramel sauce underneath.

Step 10

Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
