Instructions

  • In a saucepan, whisk together maple syrup and cornstarch.
  • Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly.

Notes

To enhance the flavor of the cake, consider toasting the walnuts before adding them to the batter. If you prefer a more pronounced spice flavor, adjust the spices to your liking. Ensure the maple pudding is completely cooled before spreading it on the cake to avoid it becoming too runny. For a decorative touch, top the cake with additional walnuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
