My mom and I bought a jar of cookie butter to try it out, and we fell in love with it. I knew the flavor would go well with maple syrup and pecans, so I came up with this cake. I like to make a pretty design on the top of the cake with pecan halves. —Natalie Larsen, Columbia, Maryland

Test Kitchen tips

This dense cake has a hint of maple flavor and a sweet cookie butter frosting.

If you don't have reduced-fat milk on hand, fat-free or whole milk can be used instead.
