This cake was fine but alot like pancakes with syrup. My entire family thought there was too much maple syrup.

This was delicious! I was worried it would be too sweet, but it was just right. I was thankful for the comments about it not covering the syrup. I would have worried also. Really easy and yummy.

Excellent Maple Cake! When I added the cake mixture to the pan I started to worry because it did not seem like there was enough batter to cover the topping completely. I thought for sure I had done something wrong. I spread it out as best I could as it floated on top of the maple goop. It baked perfectly and rose evenly! I used freshly tapped Vermont maple syrup and this was incredible. This cake topping is sweet and the cake pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream topping. Delicious! Thank you Pan-Nan!!!!
