Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 cup whole milk
Instructions
- Prep: Prepare your workspace and gather all ingredients to ensure smooth baking.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly grease a bundt pan to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until evenly combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with vegetable oil until frothy. Then add in the whole milk and pure maple syrup, mixing well to combine.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined, taking care not to overmix to maintain a tender crumb.
- Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top evenly for a uniform bake.
- Bake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes to set, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Ensure the bundt pan is well-greased to avoid the cake sticking.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake moist and tender.
- Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
- If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, you can increase the cinnamon to 1.5 tablespoons.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey, but this will alter the flavor slightly.
