Maple Apple Walnut Cake Recipe

Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9-inch round, 2-inch deep cake pan with butter, line the bottom with a round of parchment paper, and lightly grease again. Dust with flour, tapping out any excess.

Step 2In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, syrup, milk, eggs, and vanilla, then whisk in flour mixture until combined. Stir in apples and walnuts until well incorporated, then transfer to a prepared pan and spread out evenly. If you’d like, arrange some of the apples in the batter into a decorative spiral pattern on top.

Step 3Bake until cake is deep golden brown and springs back in the middle when touched, 60 to 70 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Loosen edges with a knife and transfer to a large plate, discarding parchment paper. Serve warm or at room temperature.
