Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), sifted, plus more for pan
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light-brown sugar
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
5 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup pecans, lightly toasted and roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter and flour a 4 1/2-by-8 1/2-inch loaf pan. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and both sugars on medium-high until very light and fluffy, 7 minutes. Scrape down bowl and beat 1 minute more. Add maple syrup, then gradually add eggs, beating well and scraping down bowl as needed. With mixer on low, add salt, then gradually add flour, beating well to combine and scraping down bowl as needed. Fold pecans into batter.
  • Transfer batter to pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 65 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack, 1 hour. Remove cake from pan and let cool completely on rack before slicing.
  • To store, freeze for up to 3 weeks. (Thaw, wrapped, at room temperature.)

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out as moist as I would have liked. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
