Well today I made the maple cake and the recipe worked out perfectly. Definitely worthy to blog about! Rating: 4- out of 5. I realize I’m falling into a hopeless pattern of always choosing recipes from Martha Stewart. What can I say? This girl only owns a handful of cookbooks. So logging on MarthaStewart.com seems to be the solution.

Maple Bundt Cake: MarthaStewart.com
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature
- ½ cup packaged dark-brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup heavy cream
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10-inch Bundt pan. Dust with flour, and tap out excess. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Beat butter and sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at time, beating well after each addition. Beat in ½ cup maple syrup and the vanilla. Add flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the sour cream, beating until just combined after each addition. Scrape batter into prepared pan.
- Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Invert onto rack to cool completely.
- Just before serving, beat cream with a mixer or a whisk until soft peaks form. Add 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and beat until soft peaks return. Spoon whipped cream over cake, and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve immediately.

You take such great pictures! Ha, you're making me hungry! I agree, i often fail at recipes too. But that's why i put more thought into picking recipes. Martha stewart recipes never fail!
Nothing wrong with using a fail safe recipe from Martha - especially if it comes out looking like this! - wow - your styling for your pictures is lovely - bravo x
This cake looks perfect, great seasonal recipe, I love maple cake and the frosting looks divine x

I love bundts! This looks like a delicious autumn one!

I'm glad about the fact that I've voted for it. ;)
And it's very sad to hear that the palmiers have not succeeded.. ):
Perhaps the next time and then you can blog about them.
Lovely regards,

This is just gorgeous...a big slice and a cup of tea and this would be the typical cake for fall. Beautiful presentation as always
Such a shame about the palmiers ... they had my vote lol. But the Maple Cake looks amazing ;0)
This sounds like such a delicious, sweet cake! I wish we could see pictures of your palmiers though--what went wrong?
Your recipe blog is just amazing!

that looks mouth watering! maybe I'm just plain hungry, but I can almost taste it in my mouth. it looks delicious, cannot wait to start baking again soon (tomorrow I hope).
mmm that cake looks really yummy *.* and it looks perfect for fall too! :)
Mm what a delicious cake. Love the way you spread that frosting, too.
If there is something that we Canadians love, it's our maple syrup, sounds delicious!
This is such a gorgeous cake I wish I could bake like you! May I know what is the texture of this cake? Would you recommend it for a layer cake? Thank you! :)
@Anonymous: Merci beacoup! :) Yes it would make a nice layer cake, but it is a bit on the heavy side, if that's your preference. I personally like a lighter cake for layers.
Thank you for your speedy reply, appreciate it! I will first bake the original recipe and see what the family thinks. Many thanks for your amazing blog! Keep baking! :)
Hello, could you please write me this recipe in grams and mils? Thank you very much! I really like your blog!
