This was a moderately easy recipe to make. I chose it because my hubby loves upside down cake. I did not have pure maple syrup, so I used the regular syrup I had on hand. The instructions did not include when to beat in the egg and vanilla, so I added them after I beat the sugar and butter, but before I added the dry ingredients and milk. I did use a 9-inch round pan,however, after 30 minutes, the middle of the cake was still wet. I had to bake it an additional 14 minutes. I thought the cake would be dry, but it wasn't. It turned out okay.
