How To Make maple walnut pound cake

    In a seperate bowl, combine dry ingredients.
  • 3
    In a measuring cup, combine milk and maple flavoring and beat into butter mixture, alternating with flour mixture.
  • 4
    Beat in eggs one at a time. Mix in 1 1/2 cups chopped nuts.
  • 5
    Pour batter into a greased tube pan. Bake at 300 on lower 3rd rack position for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 mins. or until toothpick test comes out clean.
