Reviews
As a French Canadian, I’ve eaten this dessert my whole life and it’s one of my favorites. I liked the texture of the cake, however I prefer having more syrup in the bottom so that when you dish it up into a bowl, you can top with additional syrup. Still very good though!
Recipe holds up well to user error! Used the wrong size pan and it was flat and a little bit overdone. Still very soft and moist cake with good flavor from the syrup. Next time I will use a smaller pan and see what it’s like when cooked correctly.
this is the best recepy i ever made!!!!!
Perfect recipe, sure brought back childhood memories
I added cinnamon to my batter and chopped apples to mine tonight. Delicious
It was my first attempt at making this. Was very easy and extremely tasty.
This was a great recipe, super easy and is amazingly good!!
I believe I should have used a deeper dish as the pudding rose and dried out a bit. Still very tasty. The family loved it!
Just like my grandma used to make on the stove. This is easier. Family fsvorite. Good the next day out of the fridge
Was good.
Loved it and so did the others who had some. Followed the advice of some reviews though and dropped the brown sugar to 1-3/4 cup. Also added some cinnamon to the batter and some maple flavouring to the sauce mix as soon as it was done. Also used cake and pastry flour instead of all-purpose and butter instead of margarine. Will definitely make again….and again…and again 🙂
My mother was a French Canadian and this was a regular treat . We called it Maple sugar dumplings. Just pour about a half inch of maple sirup in a cake or pie pan, top with buttered ,egg rich biscuit dough and bake at 350 deg until brown. This is 5 star
It was good. However, next time I will use about half cup less of the brown sugar.
This is so easy to make and very good to satisfy your sweet tooth. Only thing different I did was added shredded coconut to the poured liquid. Delicious! Thank you for this recipe as my mom use to make this often when we were kids.
Delicious!! I couldn’t use the oven (Christmas dinner cooking) so decided to attempt this in my instant pot. OMG PERFECT! I used butter instead of margarine and cooked it on high pressure for 20 Minutes, with a natural release (shut it off after cooking, do not leave on “keep warm”). I buttered the instant pot pot, then followed the recipe exactly. It is so yummy… and won’t last long guaranteed.
Sorry. It posted before I was finished saying I used 1 whole egg, but halved everything else. Turned out nicely, and I sprinkled some cinnamon on top while baking. Next time I will try adding apples or pecans.
I made it exactly as the recipe said. But cooked the sauce in the microwave instead of on the stove. It is identical to the dessert served here in Canada at Saint Hubert’s Restaurants. The entire family loved it.
I changed only the sugar to brown for the entire recipe. It was simple and delicious!
I’ve been making this for years, original recipe from my Canadian Grandmother and my mother. We would add dried fruit, like raisins and or dates and served with vanilla ice cream
This was delicious! I wasn’t sure what it exactly was (I’ve never had it), but it turned out to be basically a butterscotch pudding cake. My family loved it. It was almost gone two hours after I took it out of the oven. I will definitely make this again!
This recipe is delish just like my French-Canadian Mom used to make! For a special treat I used Maple syrup from Canada yum!
