Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
1 cup sugar
200g
3 egg whites
100g
1/3 cup milk (1% fat)
72g
1 cup maple syrup
230g
2.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
310g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
1/3 cup pecans
40g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose white wheat flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix well and set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In another large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer on medium speed for this step.
4. Add Egg Whites: Gradually add the egg whites to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
5. Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Add the milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Mix until well combined. The batter might look a bit curdled at this stage, but that's okay.
6. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure the cake remains tender.
7. Fold in Pecans: Gently fold the chopped pecans into the batter using a spatula or wooden spoon.
8. Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly.
9. Bake: Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
10. Cool: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Serve: Once cooled, the maple syrup cake can be served as is, or with a dusting of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of additional maple syrup.

Tips:

- Make sure your butter is at room temperature to ensure it creams properly with the sugar.

- Whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks before folding them into the batter to create a light and airy texture.

- Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor. Imitation syrups won't provide the same depth of taste.

- Toast your pecans lightly before mixing them into the batter to enhance their flavor.

- Sift the flour, baking soda, and baking powder together to avoid any lumps and ensure even distribution of leavening agents.

- Grease and flour your cake pan well to prevent the cake from sticking.

- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Creating a maple syrup cake is a rewarding culinary experience that results in a rich, flavorsome dessert perfect for any occasion. By following the tips and steps provided, you'll be able to bake a cake that not only looks impressive but tastes truly delightful.
