History of the recipe

This preparation was inspired by the traditional Minna Canth feminism recipe from March 19 in Finland. But let's take a closer look at maple syrup, which is the key Canadian ingredient in this recipe. Native American legend says that Manabush brought maple sap to a boil. It was actually the syrup that flowed down the trees. Believing that men were accessing it too easily, Manabush climbed to the top of the maple tree with a container filled with water. He poured the contents into it. This created the dilution of the juice, forcing men to harvest it and supervise the cooking. This legend was passed down to us by the first nations.

Preparation

Place the beaters of your electric whisk in the salad bowl and place everything in the fridge for an hour. Also preheat your oven to 175° C. Melt your butter in a saucepan over low heat. Beat the very cold cream using the electric mixer and the previously cooled bowl. It must form ultra-firm peaks. Beat the eggs and sugar in a separate bowl until you have a foamy mixture. Add the whipped cream. Then add your dry ingredients (spices, yeast, flour). Grate the zest of your oranges into the mixture before adding the melted butter and maple syrup. Then stir. Place this preparation in a mold that you have already buttered and floured. Bake at 175°C for half an hour and at 150°C for 45 minutes. Let cool and sprinkle with icing sugar.

Some treats to prepare with maple syrup

Maple syrup is a less sweet and more nutritious alternative to table sugar. It is used to prepare different sweet treats, such as maple caramel. You can use it on your pancakes. Otherwise, don't hesitate to use it as a soaking syrup in the cake. Furthermore, you can still use maple syrup to cook maple caramel. To do this, simply add cream and butter to your syrup. Heat 200 g of syrup over low heat in a saucepan and wait for bubbles to form. Cut the maple caramel and gradually add the cream. Finish by incorporating 40 g of diced butter. You will also have the opportunity to cook praline with maple syrup. Otherwise, you can always use it to flavor your whipped cream or ganache.
