Vermont Maple-Pecan Cake
This delectable nutty maple cake has become a hands-down favorite. Chopped pecans add delicious flavor, and the rich cream cheese frosting is accented with a teaspoon of real maple syrup. —Teresa Cardin, Mansfield, Missouri

Disappointing. I was a bit puzzled that the recipe contained no eggs. I wish I had added some. If I try it again I will add eggs,
I multiplied everything by 6 because I put the batter into a larger rectangular pan. But I had to add 1/3c more of flour, 2 eggs, 1tsp baking powder, 1 1/2tsp maple extract
Not happy with this recipe but if you haven't listened to the other feedback and updated this recipe by now, you won't do anything about mine!
My family loved this cake I wouldn't changed a thing very moist I will be making it again for sure
THANK YOU for finally publishing a cake recipe that doesn't include a *cake mix* :-|
Glad I read the reviews first! I tripled the recipe for 2 round 9 inch pans. I also added eggs and baking powder as well as maple extract. Turned out great! No problem getting it out of the pan with grease and flour. Thanks for the helpful suggestions. Will definitely make again!
I made this cake but didn't see that it was just six inches so I doubled it for two nine inch squares . it stuck a little but rose just fine . looks tasty haven't eaten it yet .
Very disappointed. I had to double the recipe. It stuck to a parchment paper lined pan.
Awesome cake! I added maple extract to kick up the flavor.
I was so excited to make this cake for my birthday. It didn't rise, and stuck to the pan. So disappointed.
