This recipe ticked off a lot of “to-do” boxes this week. First I had to create a dish for the next reveal from the Secret Recipe Club.
Second I had to appease DH and his complaints that I haven’t baked anything sweet in a while.
And thirdly it allowed me the chance to try a new bottle from my Pure Infused flavored Maple Syrup sampler pack I purchased recently. Oh and cover a “something Spring-like” recipe.
My last post I talked about my bad habit of having good intentions but accomplishing nothing. Isn’t it wonderful how quickly I turned it around this week. Yeah me!
I was assigned Sara’s blog Cupcake Muffin and wow what an index of recipes. After spending a couple of days scrolling through my heart and stomach finally settled on her adaptation of The Food Librarian‘s Honey Maple Cake. I used these cute little bake and serve loaf liners to make tiny single serve treats.
After coming back from my weekly grocery excursion and realizing that of course I was missing an ingredient I had to substitute vanilla yogurt for the sour cream. I omitted the vanilla and used my anise, clove and cinnamon flavored maple syrup. I’m not a fan of glazes either and because I had this amazing syrup I decided to pour a little over top to enhance that maple flavor. These cakes were so moist and tasty I will be using this recipe a lot in the future.
