Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the maple syrup to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
-
Alternately add the dry flour mixture and buttermilk to the batter, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
-
Gently fold in the toasted walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
-
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once cooled, slice the Maple Walnut Cake and serve on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of additional maple syrup.
