Pour 2 cups of maple syrup into a pot.

Add 2 cups of heavy cream to the pot and stir to combine.

Turn the heat to medium and heat the mixture without boiling, then set aside.

In a separate bowl, combine 3/4 cup of granulated sugar and 3/4 cup of unsalted butter.

Use a whisk or electric mixer to combine the sugar and butter until smooth.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture.

Add 2 eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to help emulsify the mixture.

Once combined, add 1 teaspoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt to the mixture.

Gradually add 1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour and use a rubber spatula to mix until you have a thick cake batter.

Transfer the batter into a baking dish or cake pan, using a rubber spatula to spread it out.

Pour the maple syrup and cream mixture over the cake batter until it is almost fully submerged.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Bake the pudding chomeur for 30 minutes.

Check if it's fully baked using a skewer or toothpick.
