Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Add the eggs to the wet ingredients one at a time, whisking well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Alternately add the dry flour mixture and the milk to the wet ingredients, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, you can optionally dust the cake with powdered sugar or serve with a drizzle of extra maple syrup before slicing and serving.
