Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 °. Line bottoms of three greased 9-in. round baking pans with parchment paper; grease paper.
-
In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in maple flavoring. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition.
-
Transfer to prepared pans. Bake 11-13 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to wire racks. Cool completely.
-
For candied walnuts, in a large skillet, melt butter. Add walnuts; cook and stir over medium heat until nuts are toasted, about 5 minutes. Stir in maple syrup and salt; cook and stir 1 minute longer. Spread on foil to cool completely.
-
For frosting, in a large bowl, beat butter until creamy. Beat in confectioners' sugar, maple flavoring, salt and enough cream to reach desired consistency.
-
Place one cake layer on a serving plate; spread with 1 cup frosting. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup candied walnuts and drizzle with 1 tablespoon maple syrup. Repeat layers.

Top with remaining layer. Frost top and sides of cake. Top with remaining walnuts and syrup.
Why this Maple Walnut Cake Recipe works for PCOS
Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Maple Walnut Cake Recipe works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
