Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch square baking dish or a similarly sized casserole dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the milk and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, stirring until combined. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, stirring to form a smooth batter.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the maple syrup and water. Heat until the mixture is warm but not boiling, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully pour the warm syrup mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown on top and the syrup forms a bubbling sauce underneath.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. The syrup will thicken slightly as it cools.
Serve warm, scooping both the cake and sauce into bowls. For added indulgence, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
