["Preheat the oven to 340F. Butter the inside of an 8-inch bundt pan.", "Combine the dry ingredients (not the sugar) together: flour, baking powder, baking soda, & salt. Mix well, so the rising agents are thoroughly mixed with the flour.", "In a small bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.", "In the largest bowl, beat the eggs separately until they just start to thicken. This adds quite a bit of air. Add in the butter/sugar mixture.", "Mix in the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and maple syrup.", "Mix in the flour, combine slowly. Don't lose the air.

Pour the batter into the prepared tin. Smooth the surface.", "Bake bundt pan for 30-35 minutes. Test after 30 minutes by shaking pan slightly and see the center is solid, and edges are starting to pull away from the pan.

Leave to cool.", "Prepare the drizzle:", "Combine ingredients in a sauce pan. Mix the cornstarch in 2 tsp cold water, and mix into warm sauce pan.", "Heat and let boil for several minutes, stirring constantly. It will thicken.", "Remove from heat, and if needed, gradually stir in powdered sugar, up to 1/2 cup, to thicken further.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
