Maple Pudding, also known as Pouding Chomeur, is a delicious dessert made with simple ingredients like maple syrup, butter, flour, and milk. It's a classic Canadian dessert that originated in Quebec.

Ingredients and substitutions for Maple Pudding

  • Butter: Unsalted butter was used to make the cake, though you could definitely substitute with salted butter and omit any salt in the cake.
  • Sugar: The best sugar here is superfine or caster which helps dissolve into the cake batter during whipping. You could half and half the sugar with light brown sugar and caster sugar, if you prefer.
  • Eggs: Room temperature eggs, add structure to our cake, the egg helps to bind everything together so are essential.
  • Flour: Plain or all purpose flour adds a light texture to the cake and you’ll keep a light crumb by only mixing until combined.
  • Baking powder: Helping our cake to rise for a light crumb and avoid a stodgy result.
  • Maple syrup: Pure maple syrup is the best thing to use here. You can experiment with other sweeteners if desired, however, for the most authentic taste, it’s best to stick to maple syrup.
  • Heavy cream: Heavy cream thickens beautifully when baked and combines with our maple syrup to make a really nice sauce. If all you can source is pouring cream, that will also work well here.

How to make Maple Pudding:

Preheat your oven to 220C/425F and lightly greaseproof a baking dish with a thin layer of butter.

Place the maple syrup and heavy cream into a saucepan on medium heat and bring to a boil.

Once it begins to bubble, stir and remove from the heat. Set aside.

To make the batter, place the butter and sugar into a bowl and beat until pale and fluffy, approximately 1 minute.

Add in the vanilla extract and 1 egg and beat until well combined.

Add the remaining egg and combine.

Toss in the flour, baking powder and salt and fold until the batter is formed and no dry portions remain in the edge or base of your bowl.

Spoon the batter into your baking dish and smooth out.

Slowly and carefully pour the maple syrup mixture over the back of a spoon all over your batter.

Place in the oven and bake until golden, approximately 30 minutes.

Remove and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
