How to Make Maple Syrup Upside Down Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup pure maple syrup and bring to a boil over medium heat. Pour into the prepared pan and swirl to coat evenly.
- If using, sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped walnuts evenly over the syrup.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/2 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently pour the batter over the maple syrup in the prepared pan.
- Bake for 30-35 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 serving plate. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
