Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove 1/3 cup butter from the fridge and set aside to come up to room temperature. Add 1 cup water to a small pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add brown sugar, maple syrup and 2 tbsp softened butter. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly, 8-10 min. Remove the pot from heat and set aside to cool for 5-7 min
Meanwhile, add white sugar and remaining softened butter to a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat mixture together until combined and light yellow, 1-2 min. Add egg and cream, then beat together until smooth, 1 min.
Add 1 cup flour, baking powder and salt to the large bowl with butter mixture. (TIP: Save your remaining flour for another creation!) Stir, scraping down any flour on the sides of the bowl, until dry ingredients are fully combined
Transfer batter to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Using a spatula, spread batter into an even layer. Carefully pour maple sauce over top. Bake in the middle of the oven for 20-28 min, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Carefully remove from the oven and set aside to cool, 15 min. Cut cooled cake into quarters and transfer to serving plates.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: Delicious and well-loved by many, though some found it overly sweet. Consider reducing sauce for a less intense sweetness.
- Ease of prep: Simple to make, even with kids. The batter may seem small for the pan, but it bakes up nicely.
- Suggestions: Add fresh whipped cream to balance sweetness. Use a smaller baking dish for a thicker cake layer.
- Portions: The cake-to-sauce ratio felt off to some; consider increasing the cake batter for better balance.
