Preheat the oven to 325° F.
Prepare a 10-inch round bundt pan.
In a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar together on high speed until it is fluffy, around 3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time making sure they are well combined.
Meanwhile, sift the flour, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl.
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk to the batter. You want to add ¼ of the ingredients until each is completely incorporated.
Last, add the maple syrup and the vanilla extract and mix it until it is well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Lightly tap the pan with the batter on the countertop until the air bubbles are gone and it is evenly distributed.
Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Check the cake after about an hour to see if it is done. Do this by sticking in a toothpick and seeing if it comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool on the counter for around 5 minutes. Then remove it from the bundt pan onto a cooling rack.
