Number Of Ingredients 17

CAKE
1 1/2 stick butter (softened)
1 c pure maple syrup
3 large eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 3/4 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 c mashed bananas (2 large or 3 med)
3/4 c buttermilk
FROSTING
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 c butter (softened)
3 Tbsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 c walnuts (chopped)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Prepare a 13x9 baking dish with butter and a light dusting of flour.
  • 2. In the bowl of a stand mixer or using a hand beater, cream the butter until soft and light. Gradually add the maple syrup and beat on medium speed for 5 minutes more, or until very light. The butter and maple syrup may separate slightly. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla.
  • 3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to the butter mixture along with the milk and bananas. Beat on low speed just until combined.
  • 4. Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • 5. After cake is completely cooled in a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the butter, maple syrup, and vanilla and beat until smooth. Frost cake and garnish with walnuts.

I'm allergic to walnuts, so I substituted pecans in this recipe. It turned out great! The pecans added a delicious nutty flavor to the cake.

I love the flavor of this cake, but the texture was a bit dense for my taste. I might try using a different type of flour next time.

This cake is delicious! But it's very rich. A small slice goes a long way.

The cake was a little dry. I think I overcooked it. Next time I'll bake it for a shorter amount of time.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
