In medium saucepan, stir together maple syrup and sugar; heat over medium heat until sugar dissolves, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Butter a 12-inch (30 cm) oval glass baking dish.

Pour into prepared dish and bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until golden and knife inserted in centre comes out clean.Serve with Maple Cream Sauce and a scoop of your favourite ice cream.
