Steps:

• Meanwhile, beat the sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed, until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the milk, vanilla and eggs, then beat again on medium-high speed until smooth. Whisk together the flour, baking powder and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl to combine. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, then beat on medium speed until just combined and no lumps remain.

Cool 5 minutes, then cut into squares and serve warm, sauce-side up, topped with a dollop of whipped cream and some fresh berries if using.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• In a large heavy pan, bring to a boil the maple syrup and the cream. Pay close attention, because it will boil over! Once a slow roll begins, continue for about 3 to 4 minutes, and remove from the heat.
• With an electric beater, beat the butter and the sugar together. Add the eggs and continue beating for about 2 minutes.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder and the salt. Add the dry ingredients into the the egg mixture, alternating with the milk.

• Enjoy with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or all by itself!
