How to Make Walnut Cake

A LONG time a go I made a maple cake at my mom’s house and it was delicious, memorable even, and not just because it’s fun to bake with her. I decided to make another but wanted to mix it up a bit so I added toasted walnuts, a maple bourbon glaze and maple candied walnuts. So rich and intense that I’m glad I chose a light and creamy Italian buttercream to balance it all out. I kind of love how traditional this cake looks, almost like my grandmother could have made it for a special occasion (Thanksgiving??). I almost forgot to mention! The middle layers are sandwiched between a cream cheese frosting. 😋 The toasted walnuts give such a really great texture to the cake that I’m going to start experimenting with adding them to more cakes. Anyhow, the full recipe is up on the blog, check it out! 🎉
