It’s only fitting that there is a French-Canadian
chômeur cake, because 80 percent of the world’s
maple magic comes from Quebec. Chômeur
literally translates to “unemployed” pudding
because it’s simple and cheap to make but tastes
decadently rich.

Test Kitchen Tip
This is a plain version of this “pudding,” but additions of berries, craisins,
or pecans, even a sprinkle of maple sugar, will take it to the next level.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°. Coat four
2-cup ramekins with nonstick
spray.
Whisk together syrup and cream
in a saucepan over medium heat;
bring to a boil, then simmer
1 minute, stirring occasionally.
Combine flour, baking powder,
and salt in a bowl.
Beat butter and sugar together
with a hand mixer on medium
speed until light and fluffy,
5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time
beating after each addition; stir
in vanilla. Beat in flour mixture
until just combined. Divide dough
among prepared ramekins; chill
10 minutes.
Pour half the maple-cream over
dough in ramekins. Place ramekins
on a baking sheet.
Bake puddings until a toothpick
inserted into centers comes out
clean, 30–35minutes. Serve
puddings warm with reserved
maple-cream and whipped cream.
