Maple Butter Cake or Bars
A delicious cake or cookie bar filled with the sweet taste of maple syrup
Equipment
- 1 9-inch cake pan
- 1 Mixing bowl
- Electric mixer
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup cold butter
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 egg
- 2/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup half-and-half
- Powdered sugar and extra maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl combine 1 cup flour, 3 Tbsp. granulated sugar, and the cinnamon. Use a pastry blender to cut in the cold butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs and starts to cling together. Pat into the bottom of a 9-inch baking pan. Bake 5 minutes or just until set. 2. In a large bowl beat the softened butter with a mixer on medium for 30 seconds. Add ¾ cup granulated sugar and beat until combined. Beat in egg and maple syrup. Alternatively, add the remaining 1 cup flour and half-and-half, beating on low after each addition just until combined (batter may appear slightly curdled). Pour into crust-lined baking pan. 3. Bake 35 minutes or until the cake is nearly firm when gently shaken. Cool in pan on a wire rack. If desired, sift powdered sugar over top and serve with additional maple syrup.
