For an enhanced maple flavor, consider using maple sugar in place of brown sugar. To prevent pecans from sinking, toss them lightly in flour before adding them to the batter. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to achieve a smooth and consistent batter. Mini muffin pans can be substituted for mini Bundt pans; adjust baking time accordingly.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a mini Bundt® pan. (5 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
Whisk together 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour, salt, baking soda, and nutmeg in a small bowl. (2 minutes)
03
Step
15 mins
In a large bowl, mix together softened butter, maple syrup, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until well combined. Note that the mixture may appear curdled; this is normal. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in vanilla and maple extracts. Gradually add half of the flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Pour in buttermilk and mix until combined. Add the remaining flour mixture and mix until just combined. The batter will be thin. Stir in chopped pecans. Evenly distribute the batter among the cavities of the prepared pan. (15 minutes)
04
Step
22 mins
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake until the bottoms of the cakes spring back lightly when touched, approximately 18 to 22 minutes. (22 minutes)
05
Step
30 mins
Allow the cakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (30 minutes)
06
Step
10 mins
To prepare the frosting: With an electric mixer, blend cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, maple extract, and salt; beat until the mixture is completely smooth. Pour in heavy cream and mix until well incorporated. Frost the cooled mini cakes as desired, and garnish with additional chopped pecans. (10 minutes)
