Maple Walnut Cake
This maple cake is the best way to welcome the fall season. It is a fancy but homey cake that you can enjoy every fall or anytime. Here it is pictured with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting
CandiAnne's Note: We were stationed at Fort Drum, NY for 4 1/2 years and maple weekend is a huge thing there. You can visit numerous producers, taste their wares, and grab some syrup or other goodies on your way out. In 2007 while visiting the various producers I picked up a bunch of recipe pages on all sorts of categories that were put out by Eat Smart New York which is part of the Cornell Cooperative Extension. These pages were funded by them and the USDA Food Stamp Program.
