Ingredients
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp salt
6 TBSP unsalted butter (streusel) + 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cake), softened
1/4 tsp maple extract (streusel) + 1 tsp maple extract (cake)
3 large eggs
3/4 cup whole milk
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 10-cup Bundt pan with flour-based baking spray.
In a large bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt for streusel. Add butter cubes and maple extract, then rub with hands until crumbly.
Sprinkle 2/3 of the streusel mixture evenly in the prepared pan. Set remaining streusel aside.
Return bowl to use for cake mix. Add remaining ingredients (butter to baking powder) and beat at medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3–5 minutes.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well between additions.
Gently fold in the maple syrup and milk until fully incorporated.
Pour the cake batter over the existing streusel in the pan, spreading evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining streusel on top in an even layer.
Bake for 45–50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
Gluten-free option: Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
Vegan alternative: Substitute milk with plant-based milk (e.g., oat or almond) and use vegan butter.
If maple syrup or maple extract is unavailable, try agave syrup or pure vanilla extract.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
