How to Make Maple Walnut Pound Cake
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease and flour a 9x10 inch tube pan.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a measuring cup, combine ½ cup milk and 1 teaspoon maple extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, alternating between the two and beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Fold in 1 ½ cups chopped walnuts.
- Pour batter into the prepared tube pan and bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the maple glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar with 1-1 ½ tablespoons milk and ½ teaspoon maple extract until smooth and pourable.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and garnish with extra chopped walnuts.
