Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk

- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon maple extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the softened butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine the streusel ingredients: flour, brown sugar, walnuts, melted butter, cinnamon, and maple extract. Mix until well combined.
- Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the cake batter.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a stronger maple flavor, you can add 1 tablespoon of pure maple syrup to the cake batter.
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for the cake batter for best results.
- Toast the walnuts lightly before chopping for enhanced flavor.
