This smells so good and has a delicious buttery, maple flavor. I purchased maple extract just to make this recipe and followed the recipe as written. I'll make this again.

Wonderful taste, great texture. Cream cheese icing and/or Apple-cinnamon fill makes this recipe pop! My only warning: the time on the cake was different for my oven. It baked for 30 min, and was slightly overcooked. I would watch what your oven does, but the taste... AMAZING!

I made this with PECANS and won a blue ribbon at our County Fair with this a few days ago. I added a bit more milk & baking powder. I also used part butter pecan flavoring and part maple extract. I doubled it to make an 8" layer cake, and then I used my own cream cheese icing recipe to top it, and pressed pecans on the sides. It was great -- we sampled what was left after judging.

I made this cake for my mom for her birthday. Came out very well. I used an extra 1/4 cup of milk since some people said theirs came out too dry.

This cake turned out dense for me. I was surprised after seeing so many 5-star reviews and claims that it was fluffy. I baked it in a 9" round pan, which perhaps was a mistake. The crumb was coarse, and the texture was more like a muffin than a cake.

I thought this cake was a fantastic base recipe...my roommate is a maple addict, so I made it with a few variations--didn't have the baking powder so i used yogurt instead of the milk and baking soda for the powder (old standby substitution), maple syrup for the extract (obviously cut the sugar), and a little less flour as the other reviewers suggested. I also used egg beaters and light butter to make it a little healthier. it was light and delicious, and I frosted it the next day with the cream cheese maple icing on here. as long as it was well-covered it stayed absolutely fine (this is a week later), so maybe that was a fluke for some people. At any rate, a delicious recipe, especially with a few changes.

this cake is awsome!! Everybody loved it! I do recommend not to put it in a refrigerator though. It gets dry very quickly.

I give it a 4 1/2, but the cake is a tad bit dry. Will reduce the flour next time to see if that helps! That said, the cake is gone at my house!

This cake is truly wonderful. Light, fluffy, moist and the maple flavour is just right. The nuts really add a special touch to it. The taste reminded me of the Maple Nut ice cream I bought from the store a while back. I frosted this cake with Maple Butter Frosting (also from this site) and this took the cake from heavenly to divine! Loved the recipe, thanks for sharing :).

This is really good with the maple frosting, and stays good without losing any flavor or texture for several days. A nice side item with breakfast. Thanks for the recipe :)

This was a good cake, but very dry. I only cooked it for 35 minutes and it still came out extremely dry. I used the maple icing from this site and don't think it would have been very good without it. I love that it only makes a half of a sheet and it's very easy. Thanks!

Good and easy recipe. I topped with Maple Icing from this site (my favorite icing!). Used a little bit of whole wheat pastry flour. Loved the walnuts!

I made this cake last night. It was absolutely delicious - light and fluffy, almost caramel-like in flavour. The only change that I made to the recipe was to use real maple syrup instead of imitation, and to use about 1 1/2 tablespoons instead of 1 teaspoon. I also made the maple butter frosting and it really made the cake something special. I have already had requests to make it for several parties in the near future, and given the response, I will definitely oblige!
