1Start by making the syrup: Combine two cups of brown sugar, one and a half cups of water, half a cup of Quebec pure maple syrup, and a tablespoon of flour.
2Stir the syrup mixture and bring it to a boil on the stove.
3Combine the dry ingredients: one and a half cups of all-purpose flour, two and a half teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
4Cream together half a cup of room temperature butter and one cup of sugar.
5Add two eggs, three-quarter cup of milk, and one teaspoon of vanilla to the creamed butter and sugar, and mix well.
6Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing slowly at first until incorporated, then use a spatula to finish.
7Grease the dish with a bit of butter.
8Spread the cake batter evenly at the bottom of the greased dish.
9Pour the prepared syrup directly on top of the cake batter.
10Bake in an oven preheated to 425 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden.
11Let the Pouding Chômeur cool off before serving.
12To serve, scoop it upside down to get the cake and the thickened syrup from the bottom.
