How To Make pecan maple cake

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350 F or 180 C. Mix butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at the time and mix between additions. Add vanilla and maple extracts. In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Add half of the flour to the egg mix, then half of the milk, then half of flour and half of milk. Separate the cake batter in to two greased baking pans. I used two squares 9 x 9 inches.

    Place in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes. Check it may take a little longer or less depending on your oven. Allow the cakes to cool for 5 minutes then remove from pans and turn on to cooling racks. Completely cool before assembly and frosting.

    Assemble the cake: Place one cake on your serving dish. Using HALF of the maple syrup, sprinkle it over the top of the cake. Meanwhile, make the frosting. Prepare the frosting by beating together cream cheese, butter and vanilla, then add the sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy. Spread a layer of frosting over the top of the first cake then sprinkle half of the pecans on top. Add the second cake on top of the pecans. Use the remaining maple syrup and sprinkle over the top of the second layer of cake, wait a few minutes for the syrup to absorb in to the cake, then apply the frosting to the top and around the sides of the cake. Sprinkle the remaining pecans over the cake as you wish.
