BUTTERMILK MAPLE SPICE CAKE



Buttermilk Maple Spice Cake image

Buttermilk makes the best baked goods. Combined with spices rich spices and the wonderful sweet flavor of real maple syrup, this healthful cake is a real fall spectacular or a lovely treat any time of year. I recommend grade B maple syrup - it has a stronger flavor, great for use in recipes like this one. Frosted or not, it's your call. Adapted from Maple Syrup Cookbook by Ken Haedrich.

MAPLE CUPCAKES



Maple Cupcakes image

These cupcakes are from the cookbook "Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World." But don't shy away thinking that they aren't going to be the most deliciously maple cupcakes ever -- they are! Though the recipe calls for sugared walnuts, I never have the time and toasted walnuts are just fine. The cupcakes pair perfectly with Creamy Maple Frosting. I've made these with whole wheat pastry flour and they turn out great either way.
