Throwback Thursday, Maple Bundt Cake
The leaves are starting to color here now,
and I just love driving around and seeing Fall’s beauty
The temps are cooling down
and we are enjoying fall foods
This irresistible Maple Bundt Cake is one of my very favorites
The cake is made from a Butter Pecan boxed mix,
which I think is one of the best box cake mixes I’ve tried,
and doctored up with an extra egg,
cheesecake jello mix, buttermilk and butter,
no one would ever guess it wasn’t made from scratch
Put the batter into a well greased bundt pan
Bake 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…
Make the maple icing while cake is baking
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
Let cake cool for 1 hour, then invert onto a plate
Poke the cake all over with a long skewer
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

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

- 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.

- 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.
Soooo good!

Delicious Jenna! I’m craving cake for breakfast now with my morning coffee! Happy Thursday. ♥

Jenna, the cake looks delicious. I agree with Mary, now I just need a slice to go with my morning coffee. Using a mix certainly makes baking easier. Happy Thursday!

The flavors in this cake sound exceptional with the pecans and the maple syrup. It looks delicious and so pretty!
Thank you Judee!
Jenna, this cake looks great. Using a mix and doctoring up is one of my favorite ways to bake. Who makes the butter pecan cake mix and cheesecake instant pudding?
The cake mix is Super Moist Butter Pecan by Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines, both are good, and the pudding is by Jello. Thanks Bernadette
I want it for the icing alone! Oh, my, doesn’t that look fabulous. That would be a gorgeous fall dessert!
