A Maple Bundt Cake is a type of cake that is made with maple syrup, which gives it a rich, sweet, and slightly earthy flavor.
The maple syrup can be added to the batter or used to make a glaze or frosting. It is typically made in a Bundt cake pan, which gives the cake its distinctive ring shape.
The cake can be paired with a variety of frostings or glazes, such as a cream cheese frosting or a maple glaze.
It is a delicious and unique twist on traditional cakes, and is perfect for special occasions or as a dessert for a fall or winter meal.
Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg,
1 cup unsalted butter, 2 cups granulated sugar, 4 large eggs, 1 cup pure maple syrup, 1/2 cup whole milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, Maple glaze (optional)
Instruction
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10-inch Bundt pan with butter or baking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the maple syrup.
Gradually mix in the flour mixture and the milk, alternating between the two, until just combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth out the top.Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake is cooled, you can make the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, maple syrup, and a little bit of milk or cream together until smooth. Then drizzle the glaze over the top.
