Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 4 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup salted butter room temp
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 cup pure maple syrup
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup Lifeway Kefir Plain Unsweetened or buttermilk

For the Cinnamon Swirl

  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 cup light brown sugar

For the Maple Pecan Crumb Topping

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup pure maple syrup
  • 6 tbsp salted butter melted and cooled
  • 2 cups chopped pecans

For the Vanilla Glaze

  • 2 cups powdered sugar sifted
  • Splash of vanilla extract
  • 3-4 tbsp Kefir or whole milk, as needed

Instructions

To Make the Cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease and line a 13x9-inch baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients; flour, baking soda and baking powder. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugar and brown sugar until soft and creamy, on medium speed. Add one egg at a time, and continue beating.
  • Reduce to low, pour the maple syrup and milk, beat until just combined.
  • Alternate the dry ingredients with the sour cream. Transfer half of the batter onto the prepared baking pan.
  • Add the cinnamon swirl evenly across the top and spread the remaining batter over the swirl.
  • Top with the crumble topping.
  • Bake for 55-60 minutes, until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cover with foil about half way through, to prevent the crumb topping from burning.
  • Allow to cool for 15 minutes before drizzling the vanilla glaze. Serve and enjoy!

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

  • Whisk together the cinnamon, flour, brown sugar and maple until combined. Set aside.

For the Maple Pecan Crumb Topping:

  • Mix together the flour, maple, cinnamon and melted butter, until it resembles wet sand. Fold in the chopped pecans and set aside.

For the Vanilla Glaze:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the sifted powdered sugar, vanilla and add 1 tablespoon of Kefir at a time until desired consistency. Set aside.

Notes

  • Storage: store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
