Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Pure maple syrup
• 0.5 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch square baking dish or a similarly sized casserole dish.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish using a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. The syrup will thicken slightly as it cools.

Step 9

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.
