Ingredients

Cake

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

  • 3 to 4 tablespoons maple-flavored syrup

  • Step 
    2

    In a large bowl, beat Cake ingredients with an electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally. Pour into the pan.

    3

    Bake 47 to 53 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from the pan to a cooling rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours.

  • Step 
    4

    In a large bowl, beat powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons butter, the cream cheese, and 3 tablespoons of the syrup with an electric mixer on low speed. Beat in enough of the remaining syrup to make a smooth, soft frosting that will flow down the side of the cake. Spread the frosting over the cake. Store loosely covered in the refrigerator.
