📝 Preparation Steps
1
Cake:
2
Preheat oven to 350°F Grease a 9x9 square baking pan.
3
Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
baking powder1 teaspooncinnamon1 teaspoonground ginger2 teaspoons
4
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat butter and brown sugar until well combined, about one full minute. Add eggs, molasses, syrup, and maple extract, beat until combined (the mixture might look curdled, that’s OK). Scrap the sides/bottom of the bowl as needed
large eggs (at room temperature)2maple extract1 teaspoon¼ teaspoon maple extract
5
Add half of the dry ingredients and beat until combined. Slowly beat in the buttermilk, then beat in the remaining dry ingredients. Transfer the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
6
Topping:
7
Combine brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, pecans, and salt. Add butter and stir until well combined (I use a fork). Sprinkle over the top of the cake batter.
cinnamon1 teaspoon
8
Bake cake for ⏱️ 28-33 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center, comes out clean. The crumb topping in the very center of the cake will be the last thing to set; the topping will firm up as it cools.
9
Place the pan on a wire rack and allow the cake to cool for ⏱️ 30 minutes, then proceed with the icing.
10
Icing:
11
Whisk all ingredients until smooth. If necessary, add more milk to thin or more powdered sugar to thicken. Using a toothpick, poke holes all over the top of the cake (I poke about 20 holes). Drizzle the icing over the cake. Serve warm.
