Apple Maple Cake

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
Apple Maple Cake

Apple Maple Cake is my simple cake recipe for those new to baking. It’s also for those who don’t prefer their desserts to be too sweet!

Ingredients!

I have a Maple syrup bottle, gifted to me by a close friend, that I always wanted to use in baking. There’s no doubt about the chemistry between maple syrup and breakfast (be it pancakes or waffles). I thought of taking a few breakfast ingredients and incorporating them in a cake.

So first step was, listing the ingredients that I wanted in my cake.

Apples are something that is available in groceries year around. It’s also a great breakfast fruit and goes well with maple syrup. Next, I wanted a nutty component that would compliment apples. Hence the third ingredient had to be walnuts.

Maple Syrup a sugar substitute?

Maple syrup is considered a natural sweetener and a healthier alternative to sugar for desserts and baking. It’s a plant sap product that has antioxidant properties. It also helps to maintain a healthy heart and immune system.

Which variety of Apples can be used for baking?

Granny Smith, Ida Red, Northern Spy, Gala, Honey-crisp, Melrose varieties, to name a few are good for baking. I used Granny Smith for this cake.

Well, I decided to bake this simple cake for our Wedding Anniversary, that would satisfy our not so sweet tooth 🙂
