The maple syrup gives a really great taste in this pound cake. Use pecans instead of the walnuts if you wish. So easy and so delicious!!

Using electric mixer, beat butter and sugar into large bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in maple syrup and vanilla extract. Mix in dry ingredients. Fold in ground walnuts.

Using small knife, cut around sides and center of pan to loosen cake. Turn cake out onto rack and cool completely.
