How to Make Maple Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup fluted tube pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Fold in 1 cup chopped pecans and ½ cup maple syrup.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, ¼ cup maple syrup, and 2-4 tablespoons milk until smooth. Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  10. Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top.
