Instructions
Cake
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 8″ by 8″ pyrex baking dish with parchment paper.
Combine all of the ingredients for the cake batter in a large mixing bowl until completely smooth. You can also use an electric KitchenAid mixer for this.
Pour the cake batter into the baking dish and bake on 350 degrees for 45 minutes until golden.
Frosting
Before combining the ingredients for the frosting be sure that your maple syrup is at room temp! THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! If the maple syrup is chilled, it will clump the frosting.
For the frosting, combine all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor for about 1 minute until smooth. Do not over whip- this will cause the frosting to clump.
Gently frost the cake with the whipped maple frosting and then serve!
Recipe Notes
Optional: You can add a dash of nutmeg and cinnamon to the frosting if you want a little extra spice!
