Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 350°F.
1-1/4 cups maple syrup
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
a pinch of salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter - softened
1/3 cup white sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
creme fraiche, sour cream, or whipped cream

Steps:

Stir together 1-1/4 cups pure maple syrup (amber or Grade B), heavy cream, 2 teaspoons cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Beat together 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened) and 1/3 cup sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add 1 large egg and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, then beat until just combined (batter will be very thick). Sift 1 cup cake flour (not self-rising), 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt together into egg mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined. Pour l/3 cup syrup mixture into baking dish. Divide batter in bowl into 6 mounds with rubber spatula and spoon each mound onto syrup mixture in baking dish, spacing mounds evenly. Pour remaining syrup mixture over and around mounds. Bake until topping is golden and firm to the touch, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm, with creme fraiche, sour cream, or whipped cream.
