This year our summer vacation took us to New England. Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire to be specific. First, if you’ve never been, you must go. It’s a part of the country that is so rich in American history.
New England is well known for maple syrup so of course, I had to bring some home. Ok, I had to bring a lot home. So I need to use it. This maple bundt cake with cinnamon maple glaze was the perfect way to start.
Now, I know, you can get real maple syrup at any grocer but that’s not the point. The syrup in Vermont is different. In stores, you can usually only get one grade, or type, of syrup but in Vermont, you can get all of them from amber to dark.
There is a difference, one that would take too long to explain here. It’s really just best to do a taste test and figure out which you like best.
You may be thinking this is more of a fall cake and I won’t disagree. The warmth of cinnamon paired with maple just says fall. After the summer heat I know many are looking to the cooler days and nights of autumn.
Make this for a fall tailgate party or as an option on your Thanksgiving dessert table. The flavors are subtle but not overpowering. Served with coffee it’s a nice way to end a meal.

Then there are drinks that use maple syrup too, like maple bourbon sour.

I found the cake to be really small so I doubled the second time and it came out really nice still using a 12″ bundt pan. No over flow just had to bake longer. Added pecans and used a cream cheese glaze instead. Thanks for the recipe!
Luscious cake!! Pinned to my Cake Board. Cannot wait to try this. Sharing on my Facebook page also. Best wishes for the best of summer. Thanks for sharing at Thursday Favorite Things. Linda @Crafts a la mode
What amazing flavors, and that glaze~perfection!
Sounds like a tasty use of some of the maple syrup you picked up. I’m always a fan of maple flavors.
I love the warm toasty flavors you chose for this cake! It’s great now but I bet even better in the fall 🙂
Ooo, you’re right. This would go wonderful with coffee or an afternoon cup of tea. Looks and sounds wonderful.
This looks wonderful! I am not a huge maple syrup fan but I do love cooking and baking with it. We have one sugar shack near us that makes amazing maple syrup cotton candy. Pinned.
Great looking cake. We can get everything that we buy from a Farmer’s Market at a grocer. I like knowing that my purchase is helping a small farm to survive and that my dollars are going to support a family and not a corporation..
Looks yummy! We like the B grade syrup for the stronger flavor.
I am jealous of your trip! I’ve been to Boston a couple of times, but not the rest of New England! Your cake sounds delicious.
Yum! So perfect with the fall coming up!
I was so sad when my Vermont Grade B maple syrup ran out…instead of a trip up north I found some online…but a trip would have been way more fun! It’ll be gone before you know it!!!
I need to put my bundt pan to good use and make this. Maple isn’t a flavor you see often in cakes and I imagine this tastes amazing.
Two slices for me please! I love love love maple and cinnamon together!
