1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
3/4 c. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 c. milk
1/2 c. chopped walnuts
1 1/2 c. maple syrup
3/4 c. water
2 tbsp. butter
Whipped cream or ice cream

Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, and nuts. Pour into a greased 8-inch square pan.

Combine the maple syrup, water, and butter in a small saucepan. Heat just until the butter melts. Pour the warm sauce over the cake batter; do not stir. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream. Serves 6.

A pudding-like sauce forms as the cake bakes.
