It's maple syrup time, here in Quebec. The sap running from the maple trees is used to make maple syrup. A sweet syrup used in cooking and baking. This dessert is a traditional French Canadian pudding. This recipe is made in two steps, The Cake and the Maple Sauce. Ingredients: The Cake 1/4 cup butter, at room temperature 1/2 cup white sugar 1 egg, at room temperature 1/2 tsp vanilla 1 cup flour 2 tsps baking powder 3/4 cup milk. (sometimes, I used Almond Milk) Directions: Preheat oven to 325 deg. F. Grease a baking pan. approx 8 x 8.. With an electric mixer mix the butter and sugar until blended. Add egg and vanilla blend together. In another bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Add the flour mixture, and the milk, to the butter mixture, mix all together to make the cake. Pour into greased pan. MAPLE SAUCE "precooked on the stove, in a saucepan" 3/4 cup pure maple syrup 3/4 cup brown sugar 3/4 cup 35% cream 1/4 cup butter. In a medium saucepan, bring the maple syrup, brown sugar, cream and butter to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes. Pour sauce gently over cake. It will look like this... Place pan on a cookies sheet to bake, to prevent spills in your oven. Bake 325 deg.F. about 35 minutes or, until cake is light brown, and when a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Below freezing at night and warmer days, ideal temperatures for the sap to run. Usually in March/April. Sap is collected from the Maple Trees, and boiled into Maple Syrup. Thanks for your visit. 💛💛💛
