mary berry maple and pecan cake
Some cakes never go out of style — and Maple and Pecan Cake is a wonderful example of why simple baking classics remain so popular.
The combination of rich maple syrup, buttery sponge, and crunchy pecans creates a cake that’s both comforting and elegant. Every slice offers a soft, tender crumb balanced by the warm, nutty flavour that makes this bake perfect for any season.
The sponge is infused with maple syrup for natural sweetness, while chopped pecans add texture and a delicate roasted flavour. Finished with a smooth maple icing and decorated with pecan halves, the result is a beautiful centrepiece that’s just as suitable for afternoon tea as it is for birthdays, holidays, and family gatherings.
Whether you’re baking for guests or simply treating yourself to a homemade cake, this recipe delivers classic flavours using everyday ingredients with impressive results.
Moist, nutty, and finished with a luscious maple glaze — it’s the kind of cake that disappears one slice at a time and quickly becomes a favourite to bake again.
