How to Make Maple Syrup Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 cup pure maple syrup until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- In a clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with extra maple syrup before serving (optional).
