Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 115 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 180 milliliters milk
- 250 grams brown sugar, packed
- 125 milliliters maple syrup
- 240 milliliters heavy cream
- 70 grams unsalted butter, cubed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dish.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, in three parts. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, maple syrup, heavy cream, and cubed butter. Stir until all ingredients are melted and the mixture comes to a gentle simmer.
Carefully pour the hot caramel sauce over the cake batter, covering it completely. Do not stir.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pudding from the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes before serving. The caramel sauce will sink to the bottom while baking to create a luscious topping.
Serve warm and spoon generous amounts of caramel sauce over each slice. Optionally, pair it with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
