Pouding Chomeur (poor man’s pudding)
This is a traditional french-Canadian dessert that was made during the depression era… the ingredients are simple and were cheap and it is one of those staple desserts in french-canadian homes…
(yes… it is full of sugar… but OH so good)
Cake:
- 1 1/2 cup flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
Sauce
- 3/4 cup Maple Syrup
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/4 cup butter
In a bowl sift flour and baking powder together… in another bowl, cream butter and sugar and add vanilla… then slowly add the milk and flour in alternating 1/4 cup increments until all together and smooth… spread in a buttered baking dish…
for the sauce… in a sauce pan, mix all the sauce ingredients together and bring to a boil… boil for a few seconds and then pour over the cake batter (do not mix)
bake in a 325 preheated oven for 45 min

Thank you! It’s yucky out today and I don’t feel like going to the store but I wanted something sweet and I have all these ingredients. I’m going to make it with the girls after naptime.
I hope you liked it! I just finished the last piece last night and I just really love the flavours… they are just very simple…
