MAPLE NUT CAKE



Maple Nut Cake image

I LOVE BUNDT CAKES!

Provided by Annamaria Settanni McDonald

Categories     Cakes

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 box yellow cake mix
1 c water
1/3 c butter softened
3 eggs
1/2 c maple flavored syrup
1/2 c chopped nuts of your choice (optional)
CREAM CHEESE GLAZE
1 1/2 c powdered sugar
3 Tbsp butter softened
1 1/2 oz cream cheese
3-4 tablespoons of maple flavored syrup

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with shortening; lightly flour (or spray pan with baking spray with flour). In large bowl, beat all cake ingredients with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Pour into pan.
  • 2. Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours.
  • 3. In large bowl, beat powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons butter, the cream cheese and 3 tablespoons of the syrup with electric mixer on low speed. Beat in enough of the remaining syrup to make a smooth, soft frosting that will flows down side of cake. Spread frosting over cake.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Walnuts: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, high-quality walnuts. Look for walnuts that are plump and have a deep brown color.
  • Toast the Walnuts: Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and makes them more fragrant. Spread the walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Use Unsalted Butter: Unsalted butter allows you to control the amount of salt in the cake. If you only have salted butter, reduce the amount of salt called for in the recipe by half.
  • Cream the Butter and Sugar Until Light and Fluffy: This step is essential for a moist and tender cake. Cream the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy, and the mixture is almost white in color.
  • Gradually Add the Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Do Not Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake the Cake Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: The cake is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not overbake the cake, as this will make it dry.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely Before Frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting. You can also chill the cake in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before frosting it.

Conclusion:

This maple nut cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The moist and tender cake is complemented by the sweet and crunchy walnuts and the rich maple frosting. With its beautiful presentation, this cake is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
