Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking dish.
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.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
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.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
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.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Carefully pour the maple caramel sauce over the batter. Do not stir; the sauce will sink to the bottom as it bakes.
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.
Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
