Easy Maple Nut Cake Recipe

by

This Maple Nut Cake was absolutely delicious – light and fluffy, almost caramel-like in flavour. I doubled the recipe and made a layer cake, frosted with the maple frosting for a birthday party. It was great!!

The nuts really add a special touch to it. The taste reminded me of the Maple Nut ice cream I bought from the store a while back.  I purchased maple extract just to make this recipe and followed the recipe as written. This cake requires no icing, but you can ice it if you wish which is truly delicious.  I’ll make this again.
