Pouding chomeur, or unemployed man's pudding, is a Quebec dessert of basic cake batter baked under a hot maple or caramel syrup, so the cake rises through the sauce.
Pouding chomeur was created in Quebec in the early years of the Great Depression. In the worst of it, stale bread was used in place of cake batter. The syrup can be made from brown sugar, white sugar, maple syrup or a mix, and the dessert is often part of a sugar shack meal, although it is not specifically a maple dessert.
