- 1 cup granulated sugar

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Sift together 1 cup granulated sugar, ⅓ cup cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, and ¼ teaspoon salt into a medium saucepan. Whisk in 1 cup boiling water, ¼ cup pure maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon unsalted butter until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking occasionally; then reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and reduces by about half.
-
Step 2.
Remove the saucepan from heat and pour the sauce into a heatproof bowl. Stir in ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract and ⅛ teaspoon pure maple extract. Let the sauce cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes. Do not refrigerate before it has completely cooled, or it may become grainy.

Step 3.
Once the sauce is completely cooled, transfer it to a glass jar or airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. To serve, warm gently in the microwave.
