Enjoy a Maple Cake from In the Kitchen with Sheryl!

For anyone who is a fan of maple syrup, this cake will become a personal favorite!  Simply put, it is moist, delicious, and quite easy to make!  This cake recipe, unlike a store bought cake mix, may take a bit longer to make but just like maple syrup itself, this cake is worth the process it goes through in creating it.  In the end, your efforts will be appreciated!
