Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1.5 cups Maple syrup
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly using a spatula. Set aside.
Step 7
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the maple syrup, brown sugar, and heavy cream. Stir frequently until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Remove from heat.
Step 8
Carefully pour the hot syrup mixture over the cake batter in the baking dish. Do not stir; the syrup will sink to the bottom during baking.
Step 9
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 10
Remove the pouding chômeur from the oven and let it cool for about 5-10 minutes. Serve warm, spooning some of the sauce from the bottom of the dish over each portion. Enjoy!
