This cake was great! A nice mix of flavours, a moist but not dense cake, and a fantastic icing that topped it off perfectly. I put it on the table outside of my office and less than 10 minutes later this was all that was left. My friend Susanne snapped this picture right before the last of it was taken!
Cake:
1/2 cup butter (I was out, so used half a cup of vegetable oil, no problem)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp maple extract
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350. Grease 8" pan. Cream butter, add sugar and keep creaming until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add maple flavouring. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add mixture in 3 parts alternately with milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. Stir in walnuts and pour into pan. Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes until done. Cool, then frost.
Cream Cheese Icing
2 8-oz packages of cream cheese
1/2 cup butter
2 cups icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Cream together butter and cream cheese. Add vanilla, and then gradually mix in the icing sugar.
