SIMPLE MAPLE CAKE



Simple Maple Cake image

I grew up in New England where maple syrup was pretty available all year round. I then moved to Florida as an adult and noticed that pure maple syrup was fairly expensive down here. My sister for Christmas send me a few bottles of pure maple syrup. She sent both dark amber and medium amber. It has been great to cook with!

MAPLE CAKE

The incomparable flavor of pure maple syrup is reason enough to make this sweet treat; that it is also quick to prepare is an added bonus. Maple syrup is marked and graded by its color, ranging from light to dark -- the darker the color, the more intense the flavor. If you can find grade B, use it here for both the batter and the icing.
