How to Make Maple Syrup Pudding Cake

  1. In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup pure maple syrup almost to a boil over medium heat.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.
  6. Pour the almost-boiling maple syrup into the prepared pan.
  7. Sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped pecans evenly over the maple syrup.
  8. Carefully pour the cake batter over the pecans and maple syrup.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool for 10 minutes before inverting the cake onto a serving plate.
  11. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate treat!
