Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 120 ml pure maple syrup
- 3 units large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 120 ml whole milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a round 9-inch cake pan, or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed.
Step 3
Slowly add the pure maple syrup to the mixture while continuing to beat on low speed.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the whole milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 9
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Optional: Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar, drizzle additional maple syrup on top, or serve with whipped cream for extra indulgence.
