Maple Pecan Nut Cake

My son had to make a dessert for his homeschool co-op history class, and he ended up making this Maple Nut Cake.  It is supposed to be colonial although I am not sure how colonial a packaged cake mix is.  Anyway it was a way to use some of the maple extract I bought a few years ago and had never opened! It tasted delicious, and it was very easy to make.

  1. I will try this cake . I make a different version… cake mixes can be varied… add 2 boxes of instant pudding.. 4 eggs..3/4 cup grape seed oil..1 cup water …. bake350 for @45 to 50 min. In a. Bundt pan……variations I. Have tried include coconut cake and coconut pudding with added toasted coconut added! Spice cake with shredded carrots and toasted coconut and nuts added… chocolate cake with strong coffee and chocolate pudding…… variations are endless. It all started with a lemon cake and lemon pudding. I have tried to add a raspberry swirl, but it sinks to the bottom… still tastes great. I love maple…. this will be my next adventure…. we have a pistachio cake nearly ALL gone!!

  2. The social learning clarification of orientation improvement suggests that kids procure their feeling of being male or female through observational learning. That is, they figure out how to think, act, and act in some ways since they are compensated or rebuffed by significant good examples in their lives and you can get details here to write your coursework easily. In this manner, as per the social learning point of view, gendered conduct is accomplished by people from society.
