Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, for glaze
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Add the sour cream to the butter mixture and mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped walnuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Once the cake has cooled completely, drizzle the maple glaze over the top.
- Slice the cake and serve it warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.
- Use coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free version.
- Maple syrup can be replaced with honey or agave syrup.
- Chopped pecans can be used instead of walnuts.
