I was out of white sugar and needed something to bake for our church coffee hour. I chose your recipe since it called for less butter than the others and addition of maple extract. I realize now that I accident. baked the cake at 350 but I liked the texture with the crunchy crust anyway! I added a quick glaze with brown sugar, evaporated milk (boiled for 1 min. and cooled) and added 1/2 cup pwd. sugar. I decorated top with some pecan halves. This was a WONDERFUL tasting and good textured cake that reminded me of my favorite maple scone. Thanks Denise, for posting. Roxygirl
