Maple Cake Gluten Free

I like Maple syrup on pancakes but had never had any maple cake. My mom would talk about a maple cake her aunt would make when they visited her in Pennsylvania for summer vacation.

She would rave about how good that cake was and how she sure would like to have some again.  Being the wonderful, loving, excellent daughter that I am, I started looking for a maple cake recipe. After a few trials and errors, I found one. Mom took one bite and lit up.  This maple cake is moist with just the right amount of maple flavor.

Usually I will have a sad streak in my gluten free cakes, but not this one. It was perfection from top to bottom and in every morsel!!!

Go on and make this cake for your mom, dad, husband, boyfriend, child, brother, sister, whoever or just for yourself!! It is a real treat.
