Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for the glaze)
  • 3–4 tablespoons pure maple syrup (for the glaze)
  • 1–2 tablespoons heavy cream (for the glaze)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for the glaze)
  • Extra pecans for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt or round cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3–4 minutes).
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla.
  4. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Add dry ingredients alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour. Mix just until combined.
  6. Fold in chopped pecans.
  7. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 45–55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Let cake cool in pan 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Whisk powdered sugar, maple syrup, cream, and vanilla until smooth and pourable.
  10. Pour glaze generously over cooled cake, letting it drip down the sides. Top with extra pecans.

Notes

  • Do not overmix to keep cake tender.
  • Let cake cool fully before glazing.
  • Use high-quality pure maple syrup for best taste.
