Pouding Chomeur

A traditional Quebecois dessert that will have your sweet tooth satisfied and will have you coming back for more!
Servings: 8

Ingredients

Cake:

  • 1/4 cup butter room temperature
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup milk

Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup real maple syrup

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 8 ramekins (5 oz each) and place a baking sheet. 
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter with brown sugar until light and fluffy; add eggs and mix until well combined.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
  • Add flour mixture to batter in 3 additions, alternating with the milk and mix just until combined. Spoon into prepared ramekins, dividing evenly, and spread the tops of each dish until smooth.
  • Meanwhile, make sauce. In a medium saucepan over high heat, boil milk until very hot and then add butter to stir. Add remaining sauce ingredients and cook until mixture comes to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and boil for 2 minutes. Carefully pour sauce mixture (again, dividing evenly) over batter in pan. Do not stir.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until cake is set (pulling away from sides of ramekins) and a test pick comes out clean.
  • Serve warm with a drizzle of cream or a scoop of ice cream.
