MAPLE POUNDCAKE
- 1 1⁄2 cups butter, softened
- 1 1⁄2 cups maple syrup
- 1⁄2 cup packed light brown sugar or 1⁄2 cup dark brown sugar

- STREUSEL: In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, butter, and cinnamon with a fork until crumbly.
- Stir in the walnuts.
- POUNDCAKE: Using an electric mixer on high speed, cream together the butter, pancake syrup, brown sugar, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl until well blended (the mixture will look curdled).
- Add the eggs, one at a time, blending well after each addition (the mixture will still look curdled).
- With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour, beating just until blended and smooth.
- Spoon 1/2 the batter into the prepared pan; sprinkle with 1/2 the streusel.
- Cover with remaining batter and streusel.
- Bake for 75-85 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs clinging to it.

- Carefully invert onto a wire rack; cool completely.
- Store wrapped airtight at room temperature for up to 3 days.
