Ingredients

For the Cake

  • Flour : 250 grams
  • Baking powder : 2 teaspoons
  • Salt : 1 pinch
  • Unsalted butter : 120 grams
  • Caster sugar : 150 grams
  • Egg : 1 
  • Milk : 180 milliliters

For the Maple Syrup Sauce

  • Maple syrup : 250 milliliters
  • Hot Water : 250 milliliters
  • Brown sugar : 100 grams
  • Unsalted butter : 50 grams

Preparation steps

Prepare the Maple Syrup Sauce

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Pour the batter into the buttered baking dish.

  • 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.
