Time 2h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces butter, softened
8 ounces brown sugar
1 orange, zest of
4 eggs
3 1/2 ounces maple syrup
12 ounces self-raising flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/2 ounces pecans, chopped
15 7/8 ounces heavy cream
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 orange, zest of, shredded

Steps:

  • You will need a deep, round, 8 inch cake tin.
  • Lightly grease the cake tin and line the base with a circle of nonstick baking parchment.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 325.
  • Put all the ingredients for the cake except the pecan nuts into a large mixing bowl and mix well until evenly blended; an electric mixer is best for this but, of course, you can also beat by hand with a wooden spoon.
  • Stir in the chopped pecan nuts.
  • Spoon the mixture into the prepared cake tin and level the surface.
  • Bake for 1-11⁄2 hours, until well risen, golden and springy to the touch.
  • Allow to cool slightly, then turn the cake out onto a wire rack, peel off the lining paper and leave to cool completely.
  • Whip the cream until it just holds its shape and then fold in the maple syrup.
  • Split the cake horizontally into three and fill and cover with the cream, using a small palette knife to smooth it evenly over the top and sides.
  • Decorate the top with the shredded orange zest.
  • Store in the refrigerator.

Could use more maple flavor. ? I found that the maple flavor was a bit subtle. Maybe I'll try adding some maple extract next time to enhance the flavor.

A bit too sweet for my taste. ? The cake was a bit too sweet for my preference. I think I'll reduce the amount of maple syrup next time. Otherwise, it was a tasty and easy-to-make cake.
