Time 2h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups pastry flour
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup lukewarm water
½ cup vegetable oil
5 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon maple-flavored extract
½ cup finely chopped walnuts
1 cup egg whites
½ teaspoon cream of tartar
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant butterscotch pudding mix
1 cup milk
2 cups whipped cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together into a large bowl.
  • Make a well in the dry ingredients; place water, oil, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and maple extract into the well. Stir together with a wooden spoon, then beat until batter is smooth; stir in walnuts.
  • Place egg whites in a large glass or metal bowl. Sprinkle egg whites with cream of tartar; beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.
  • Use a rubber spatula or wire whisk to fold 1/4 the beaten egg whites into the batter. Gently run the spatula through the center of the bowl, then around the sides of the bowl, repeating until fully incorporated; repeat folding with remaining egg whites, 1/4 at a time, folding just until incorporated. Turn the batter into an ungreased 9- or 10-inch tube pan. Cut through the batter with a knife to eliminate large air bubbles.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cake is golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Tip the pan upside down over a wire rack to cool, about 30 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of pan to remove the cake; cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Beat instant pudding and milk together in a bowl; fold in whipped cream. Spread over cake.

Tips:

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This helps them combine more evenly and smoothly.
  • Use a light touch when folding the egg whites into the batter. Overmixing can deflate the whites and result in a less airy cake.
  • Do not overbake the cake. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. This will help prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cake.
  • For a richer flavor, toast the walnuts before adding them to the batter.
  • Garnish the cake with additional walnuts, maple syrup, or powdered sugar before serving.
