hmm, i can't find my recipe at the moment, but this looks almost exactly like it. I've seen recipes that just use water in the sauce, but mine used milk (this one has some cream) and i find that really adds to the texture of the sauce. there's also many recipes that use maple syrup if you wish to fancy it up a bit more.

for me the important thing is a recipe where you first put the sauce in the baking pan and carefully pour the batter on top so that the sauce bubbles up into the cake as it cooks.

I'll have to try this one. in canada, we have one called pudding chomeur aka poor mans pudding, it's the cheapest cake you can make cooked with caramel (water/brown sugar) under it.

sometimes?

i appreciate the socialist perspective, we should all be so lucky. but the way they keep the population uninformed with their french only rhetoric is shameful.

i was born in mtl in the 70's, every english speaker i know has long left, no family left there.

talk about a brain drain
