Maple Walnut Cake

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the maple syrup and mix well. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture alternately with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Fold in the chopped walnuts.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
