How to Make French Canadian Frosted Maple Gingerbread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour an 11 x 7 x 1 1/2 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg until light and foamy. Gradually beat in the maple syrup, sour cream, and melted butter (or bacon fat).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- While the cake cools, prepare the frosting: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until smooth.
- Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake.
- Sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
