MAPLE WALNUT LAYER CAKE WITH FLUFFY MAPLE FROSTING
Here's a delicious twist on a vanilla cake Jennifer found in a vintage cookbook from 1954. The secret flavor is a hint of ginger. The frosting is a seven-minute icing made on the top of the stove. You must beat it continuously, but it's quick and easy, and the results are worth it!

Steps:

- To make the cake: In a large bowl, sift together the flour and the ginger and set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and the sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until well combined. Beat in the maple syrup gradually.

Steps:
- Make the cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat two 9-inch round cake pans (2 inches deep) with cooking spray. Line bottoms with parchment paper; lightly coat parchment with cooking spray. Flour parchment and sides (tapping out excess); set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and brown sugar on high until light and fluffy, 5 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, scraping down bowl as needed. With mixer on medium-high, add maple syrup in a slow, steady stream. Add flour mixture in 2 additions, alternating with milk, beating well after each addition and scraping down bowl as needed. Fold in walnuts.
- Divide batter between pans; firmly tap pans on a flat surface several times to remove air bubbles. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of a cake comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cakes cool in pans on wire racks, 15 minutes, then invert onto racks; peel off parchment. Invert cakes again and let cool completely on racks. With a serrated knife, trim domed top from each cake to make a flat surface.

- Measure Accurately: Baking is a precise science, so it's important to measure your ingredients accurately. Use a kitchen scale for the most accurate results.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your cake will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
- Follow the Recipe Carefully: Don't skip any steps or substitute ingredients unless you know what you're doing. Baking is a delicate process, and even small changes can affect the outcome of your cake.
- Don't Overmix: Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake at the Right Temperature: The oven temperature is critical for baking a perfect cake. Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before you start baking.
- Don't Open the Oven Door: Opening the oven door during baking can cause the cake to fall. Only open the door to check on the cake in the last few minutes of baking.
- Let the Cake Cool Completely: Before you frost or serve the cake, let it cool completely. This will help the cake set properly and prevent it from falling apart.
