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:

  • Prep Work: Before starting, make sure all ingredients are at room temperature, especially the butter, eggs, and buttermilk. This ensures they combine smoothly and evenly.
  • Measure Accurately: Baking is a precise process, so accurate measurements are crucial. Use a kitchen scale for dry ingredients like flour and sugar, and measuring cups for liquids.
  • Creaming the Butter: Properly creaming the butter and sugar together is essential for a light and fluffy cake. Cream them until they are pale and fluffy, and the sugar has dissolved.
  • Adding Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This helps prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Mixing the Batter: Mix the dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately, then combine them alternately, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
  • Fold-In: If adding mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in gently to avoid overmixing the batter.
  • Baking: Bake the cake according to the recipe's instructions, checking for doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center. It should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Cooling and Frosting: Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This helps prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off.

Conclusion:

With careful attention to detail and these helpful tips, you'll be able to create a delicious and impressive maple nut cake that will be the star of any gathering. Remember to use high-quality ingredients, follow the recipe accurately, and take pride in your baking skills. Your taste buds (and those of your loved ones) will thank you!
