1 Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Generously grease and lightly flour 12-cup fluted tube cake pan, or spray with baking spray with flour. In large bowl, beat cake ingredients with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan.
2 Bake 47 to 53 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours.
3 In large bowl, beat powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons butter, the cream cheese and 3 tablespoons of the syrup with electric mixer on low speed. Beat in enough of the remaining syrup to make a smooth, soft frosting that will flow down side of cake. Spread frosting over cake. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.

I have to say this is a really good cake(but)the frosting I did'nt care for. It almost seem as if something was missing with the taste,this cake is great served with coffee. I'm so glade I decided to skip frosting the cake since it was made with cream cheese I planned on frosting each slice at a time instead of putting the whole cake in the fridge. All in all i did give five spoons,because of the cake not the frosting!!!! I had no trouble fetting the cake out of the pan,just wait until it completly cooled.I also added extra maple into the cake. I think next time I bake this one I will use butter cream frosting, I will update you with those results.

This cake was delicious! My only problem was it seemed to crumble when cutting into it. Not that we minded a messier cake, because it was still delicious. I used walnuts instead of pecans though. We prefer them. It goes really well with the maple! I only added some maple flavor to the batter and to the icing. It tastes like a giant maple frosted doughnut! Love it. :)
