This maple pecan cake recipe is made easy with a food processor. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a hint of maple and a crunch from the pecans. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect complement to the cake, adding a tangy sweetness that balances the richness of the cake. To make the cake, simply pulse the pecans in the food processor until they are finely chopped, then add the dry ingredients and pulse again. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients, then add them to the food processor and pulse until everything is well combined. Pour the batter into a greased cake pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once the cake has cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting over the top and sprinkle with chopped pecans for a beautiful and delicious dessert.
