Rebekkah ★ 3.0/5

This is a lovely cake with a lot of flavour and the aroma in the house while baking is wonderful! I made this cake exactly as directed and the cake was really nice -- soft and delicious. Giving it only 3 stars as the brown butter butter cream icing (also made exactly as directed) is so rich that, in my opinion, it takes away from the cake.  I would love to make this cake again, but try the brown butter icing with much less butter and add in cream cheese to break the richness of the butter and sugar.

Ben ★ 3.0/5

Cake tasted great and had lovely texture, but didn't make nearly enough batter with listed amounts. Batter only barely covered 6" cake tin bottoms and cakes rose to about 1" tall. Will definitely try again with double the ingredients.

Prairiecat ★ 4.0/5

Texture and crumb of cake was fine frosting was excellent. Flavor of the cake I had no maple flavor all I could taste was cinnamon now I am not a real cinnamon fan so for me it wasn’t so great but the people I served it you really enjoyed it but I was looking for a maple cake and to me this was a cinnamon cake

Kris ★ 5.0/5

This cake was so delicious! It came together perfectly and was scrumptious. We didn't make the frosting, simply because I was lazy, and it didn't need it.

Jessica ★ 5.0/5

Unbelievable cake. So worth the time it takes.
