Ingredients
- 360 ml Maple syrup
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 240 ml Heavy cream
- 60 grams Unsalted butter (for sauce)
- 240 grams All-purpose flour
- 10 grams Baking powder
- 2 grams Salt
- 115 grams Unsalted butter (for batter)
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 5 ml Vanilla extract
- 120 ml Whole milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking dish.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the maple syrup, brown sugar, heavy cream, and 60 grams of unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir until the mixture comes to a gentle boil and the butter is fully melted. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together 115 grams of unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three batches, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Step 7
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Carefully pour the maple caramel sauce over the batter. Do not stir; the sauce will sink to the bottom as it bakes.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the cake portion comes out clean.
Step 10
Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
