Party Panache, Maple Leaf Bundt Cake
We are celebrating Autumn at my house with pumpkins and falling leaves
Even though the temps are still in the 90s,
we are enjoying fall foods like this irresistible Maple Bundt Cake
The batter mixes up in just minutes
Into the oven for 35-40 minutes*
*everyone’s oven bakes a little differently, so check often near the end of baking time and err on the side of underdone because if you bake your cake too long it will be dry…
Once cake is cool, make the maple icing
Poke the cake all over with a long skewer
Cook the brown sugar and the sweetened condensed milk over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring constantly for 5-8 minutes until thickened.
Stir in butter and maple syrup
Let the icing cool for 15 minutes until it has thickened
Slowly pour icing over the cake, letting it drip down the sides
I decorated the cake with leaf cupcake toppers from Hobby Lobby
Serve cake slices with an additional drizzle of maple icing if desired
Maple Leaf Bundt Cake
Equipment

Ingredients
Cake
- 1 box Butter Pecan cake mix
- 1 stick {8 T} unsalted butter, melted

Cake

- Beat to combine, about 2 minutes.
- Pour batter into a well greased and floured bundt pan.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until just done. Do not over bake or cake will be dry.
- Cool on wire rack 1 hour.
- Prepare icing. When icing has cooled and begun to thicken, slowly pour it over cake, letting it seep into the holes and drip down the sides. Repeat. Refrigerate remaining icing. Serve cake slices with additional icing drizzled on top if desired.
- Turn out of pan onto a cake plate. Poke deep holes into cake all over with a long skewer.
Maple Icing
- Place milk and brown sugar in a sauce pan and bring to boil over medium high heat, stirring often.
- Once mixture boils, reduce heat to simmer and continue to cook for 8 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in butter and maple. Cool for 10-15 minutes then glaze or drizzle over cake. Makes about 1 1/2 cups. Store leftovers in a covered jar in refrigerator.
Enjoy!

Oh Jenna, this cake is gorgeous all dressed for fall! And, it looks delicious. One of the things I love about Fall is baking, I do enjoy baking cakes and this icing looks amazing. Now if only I had a slice to go with this mug of coffee….Hugs.
I do think it would be good for breakfast! Thanks Emily!
This is my kind of cake and will be the very next dessert I make. The way you photographed it makes it even more appetizing.
thanks Linda, I love to make Bundt cakes, they’re easy and have a lot of wow power!
It’s a beautiful cake and so easy with the cake mix! Exactly the kind of recipe I love 🙂
Me too, the easier the better! Thanks Robin!
Your doctored box maple bundt cake looks delicious Jenna! Oh that icing…I could like the screen! Love the cupcake leaf picks too. ♥
yes, the icing is dangerous!!
Oh I have a whole thing of maple syrup. This is a must try. My husband would love it. Thanks Jenna. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
thanks Cindy, the icing would be good on so many things!
Jenna, I would love a slice of this beautiful maple leaf bundt cake with my coffee this morning! This cake just says autumn, it really looks delicious and the icing looks amazing. Stay cool and Happy Thursday!
thanks Pam, you too!
This looks more evil than I can possibly say. Since I am a maple ‘ho, you can bet this will be on the menu!
the icing, well, just try not to eat it with a spoon! 🙂
That looks absolutely delicious! I’ll have to keep my eye out for that cake mix. Pinned.
thanks, I use the butter pecan mix for the base of a lot of my cakes, I think it’s really good 🙂
Oh my goodness! This looks MAGNIFICENT! My late husband was a big fan of butter pecan and would have loved this. I think I need to try it on his behalf. Yeah, that’s it. 😉
ha ha, let me warn you, the icing is dangerous! thanks Pattie!
I haven’t seen the squeeze/pour bottles of SCM at the stores, very interesting, especially for folks like me that cut a lot of recipes in half. I wouldn’t mind a piece of cake right now:@)
Yes, the squeeze bottles makes using only part of a can so much better!
Oh Jenna…I want a slice right now!!! That sounds like a perfect cake to get me in the Fall mood. Temperatures are still in the 90’s here, too. I haven’t seen SCM in a bottle either. Wish I could stop on by and share some cake with you.
I wish you could too Kitty! This icing would be good on so many things, ice cream, yum…and it’s so easy to make
That cake is beautiful and sounds delicious! I’m going to have to try this. 😀
I hope you love it, thanks Michelle!
Oh my maple goodness, this is fate. Just the other day I bought a box of pecan cake mix! I’m off today as I have run out of maple syrup, and then I will be baking this wonder. And Eagle Brand SCM in a squeeze bottle?!!! That ranks up there with fire and the wheel, doesn’t it? Will be looking for it.
ha ha, yes I guess it does rank as a great invention! I hope you love the cake Shelia!
What a beautiful delicious looking cake! Sounds so yummy! The leaf picks are cute too. Pinning for a future church potluck! I haven’t seen the Eagle Brand in a squeezable bottle either, but will look for it. Thank you Jenna. 🍊🍂
Looks yummy, Jenna! I like the leaf decorations too! 🍂👍
Thanks, I wanted you use something edible but saw these…
Such a pretty fall cake Jenna. I love poke cakes and it looks wonderful in the bundt shape. You have decorated it so pretty.
Thank you Linda!
