Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or 350°F. Grease and line a 20cm (8-inch) round cake tin with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and dark muscovado sugar until pale and fluffy.
Step 3
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the maple syrup and mix well.
Step 4
Sift together the self-raising flour and baking powder, then gently fold them into the wet mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Stir in the milk and chopped walnuts, if using, until just combined.
Step 6
Transfer the batter to the prepared cake tin and level the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the cake from the oven and leave it to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Once the cake has cooled, drizzle 2 tablespoons of maple syrup over the top for extra sweetness and a glossy finish.
Step 10
Slice and serve. Enjoy your delicious Maple Syrup Cake!
