Ingredients

  • Brown Sugar Frosting:
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 5 eggs
  • 2 tsp maple extract
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325. Grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan. Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup butter and 2 cups brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the maple flavor. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the evaporated milk, mixing until just incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pan.

Bake in the preheated oven for 70-80 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 min, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. Decorate with brown sugar frosting.

To make Brown Sugar Frosting: In a medium saucepan, combine 1/4 cup butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla. Cook over low heat, beating until sugar is dissolved and mixture is smooth.
