This is not what you think of as traditional pudding but was still good. It is more cake-like. I thought it needed a little sauce so I used a Vanilla Sauce from this website on the top. I really liked the flavor.

I am an experienced baker; and try as I might, this recipe did not give me anything beyond a light-textured cake and no sauce.

This recipe was not what I was expecting, as far as a pudding goes. Not sure why the directions say to beat the butter mixture for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, it was no different than if I beat it for 2 minutes. Overall, it did taste good. Not sure if I will make it again.

I used corn syrup because maple syrup in Italy is very expensive and I use it only for pancakes! This cake is not properly a pudding, but it's more like a plum cake with a nice flavour of corn (or maple) syrup. Not too sweet, the next time I will add more sugar. I added a 1/3 cup of flour because it seemed too liquid. The corn syrup didn't sink to the bottom as written in the recipe. I prefer it cold and I think it's a good cake only for breakfast. Cooking time is ok.

I made this as a steamed pudding in a basin/steamer instead of baking it in the oven. I also placed the Maple Syrup at the bottom of a greased and lined steamer and added the batter on top. Upturn the pudding and the syrup runs down the sides. In regard to it being "a pudding" to me this is what we Brits call puddings, and I guess other Commonwealth countries the same. SamanthaAust

A very good pudding recipe. (Puddng as in bread pudding, figgy pudding, that kind of thing, not the custard we call pudding here in the states.) Add some nuts and this gets a five star rating. It's good to learn the tastes and foods of other countries. We in the states don't have to serve just what is familiar to us. Expand your horizons. Most cooks could look at this recipe and tell it is going to be bread or cake like before they make it.

While delicious, it still turns out to be more of a cake than a pudding. No drippy maple syrup at the bottom. Delicious nonetheless. I think mixing in chopped walnuts would be good as well.

I'm thinking that this should be called Maple Syrup BREAD Pudding so that everyone will stop being confused.

A traditional pudding has a spongy, cake like texture; it is not the pie filling most consider pudding. Other examples are a steamed pudding or a plum pudding or even spoon bread. There is no need to disparage this recipe as two different types of "puddings" are being confused by the cooks. Give it a try on its own merit and broaden your culinary knowledge. Then try a traditional steamed pudding for your holiday meal; brought to the table alight - it's stunning.

This may be helpful...Some people seem to not be familiar with a traditional English (I think the Canadians may be using this also) pudding which is more like a gooey bread ie: figgy pudding, plum pudding, black pudding etc. The creamy stuff we call pudding in the U.S. would be referred to as a custard in most places.

this is not the traditional "pudding" as in a smooth jello pudding texture. It is a lot more like a soft cake. it is based on a recipe in Quebec called "pudding chomeur". It is served at most restaurants here and is a very popular dessert. Why it is called pudding we will never know!

Sorry, but this was a disppointment... the final product turned out nothing like described. I do feel that the recipe can take on a new life with great success as a maple muffin (including walnuts perhaps, or topped with walnut, just not as a maple pudding.

I agree completely, this was a CAKE! What did I do wrong? There was no surup at the bottom and it was not a pudding. I was really hoping that it would be like the desert my husband and I order at one of our favorite resturants. It's called "Chomeur pudding". It's also got maple in it, but it's definately a pudding. Better luck next time!

I'm confused too!!! I have to agree with the other reviewer: this was absolutely CAKE. Very good cake but defintely cake. No pudding or "maple syrup on bottom" to be found. Yummy but not as described...
