Preparation
Step 1
Stir to completely combine maple syrup in water.
Combine the measured flour with the sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir int he brown sugar, mixing well. make a well in the center. Pour the oil into the well, then the egg yolks, then the syrup. with an electric mixer, beat until smooth. Stir in nuts.
For the next step, wash the beaters very well to remove all traces of oil and dont use a plastic bowl. Tiniest amt of oil will keep the eggs from being fluffy. Beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until very stiff peaks form. To test; cut egg whites with a spatula or wide cake knife-it should make a clear path.
Gently fold in egg whites until batter is uniform. Pour int a clean ungreased 10 in tube pan. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. When done, remove from oven and immediately turn the pan upside down. LEt cool for 1 hour, then cut cake loose from the side of the pan with a knife. Frost with vanilla cake frosting or brown sugar frosting.
