Recipe: Maple Bar Donut Cake

Maple Bar cake recipe

When the leaves are falling and the temperatures are dropping, we can’t wait to take a bite out of a cozy treat. One of Fall’s most underrated flavors is maple. Sweet, warm and rich—maple is the ideal addition to your desserts for the next couple of months. Misty Banchero, AKA @seattlebutcherswife on Instagram, was inspired to create this Maple Bar Donut Cake after researching donut recipes.
