Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup maple syrup
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
• Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
2. Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the toasted walnuts.
4. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
