This is maple syrup cake is a treat from Quebec. It is very rich!

INGREDIENTS

1 cup maple syrup, preferably dark amber
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon table salt, divided
1 ¼ cups (6¼ ounces) all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
⅔ cup milk
2 large eggs
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

INSTRUCTIONS

Adjust oven rack 6 inches from top of oven and heat oven to 375 degrees. Heat maple syrup, cream and ½ teaspoon salt in medium saucepan over medium heat until simmering, about 5 minutes. Off heat, whisk to combine, then transfer to heatproof 2-cup liquid measuring cup.

Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt together in large bowl. Whisk milk, eggs, and vanilla in second bowl until combined. Whisk milk mixture into flour mixture until combined. Add melted butter and whisk until smooth. Transfer batter to 8-inch square baking dish (we prefer a glass dish but a metal pan also works) set in rimmed baking sheet and spread into even layer with spatula. Pour syrup mixture slowly down corner of baking dish so it flows gently over top of cake batter.

Bake until deep golden brown and toothpick inserted in center of cake layer comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool on wire rack for 10 minutes. The cake is best served hot. Use serving spoon to scoop onto plates, inverting each spoonful so sauce is on top. Serve with a dollop of crème fraîche or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Low carb. no sugar or grains or starchy vegetables. The body burns fat for energy instead of carbs. I lost 10 lbs and can tell some fat is going away.

I thought it was obvious based on the ingredients this was not a recipe for anyone that struggled with blood sugar control. It is also not a recipe for anyone counting calories.

Assuming you aren't in either of those groups, enjoy it once or twice per year with some friends.

Omg, . I’ll need three gym rounds to work that off.

I would love to get feedback from anyone that tried this.
