Ingredients

Chocolate cake

1 cup of all-purpose flour
1/3 cup of cocoa powder
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
1/4 teaspoon of salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/4 cup of olive oil
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
3/4 cup of milk

Maple cream

1/3 cup of cooking cream, 35%
3/4 cup of maple syrup
1 tablespoon of corn starch, diluted in 2 tbsp of water

Steps

Preheat the oven at 350°F and place the rack at the center of the oven. Grease up 4 250 ml mason jars then set aside.
In a bowl, add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt, then set aside.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs with brown sugar then add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract. Whisk the mix into the dry ingredients while alternating with milk. Mix until the texture is smooth.
Pour the mix into the mason jars and bake for 20 minutes.
During this time, pour the cream and maple syrup into a pot and bring to a boil. Add the corn starch then whisk until the mix thickens.
With a wooden spoon, poke small holes atop the cakes and pour the maple cream into them.
