Serve warm, accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a touch of crème fraîche for an extra indulgent treat.

Preparation steps

Prepare the Maple Syrup Sauce

Step 1
In a saucepan, bring the maple syrup, hot water, brown sugar, and butter to a boil.
Let simmer over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, then remove from heat.

Prepare the Cake Batter

Step 2
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and butter a baking dish (approximately 20 cm x 20 cm).
In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Add the egg and mix well.
Step 3
Gradually incorporate the flour mixture and the milk, alternating between the two, starting and ending with the flour.
Mix until the batter is smooth.

Assembling and Baking

Step 4
Pour the batter into the buttered baking dish.
Step 5
Carefully pour the hot syrup mixture over the batter without stirring (the cake will absorb the sauce as it bakes).
Bake for 35 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
