Maple Cake

From: Moosewood Dessert Cookbook 

Hot Mama Grade: B+

Hot Mama Notes: This is a good cake. And I really like maple. I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting. Maybe something smoother, lighter, fluffier. This is a heavy and moist cake. The frosting is very sweet, but good. The recipe was easy and easy to follow. I had all the ingredients on hand. I didn't add the extra maple flavor because I forgot. I wish I would have, though. The cruising recipe makes just enough. I had to cook the cakes in the frig because it's so hot here. I kept the frosting in the frig as well, until the cake was ready to frost.
