Recipe: Unknown

1 cup butter
2 1/2 cups white sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup + 2 TBSP maple syrup
1 tsp cinnamon
2 cups + 2 TBSP buttermilk
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 tsp. baking powder
2 1/2 tsp baking soda

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 8-inch round springform pans and two 5-inch round springform pans.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs - one at a time, then stir in maple syrup, cinnamon, buttermilk and vanilla. Sift together flour, baking powder and baking soda. (This makes a big texture difference) Set aside.

Beat in the flour mixture one third at a time, then pour batter into prepared pans.

Bake in preheated oven for 45-50 minutes. (8-inch pans will take about 5 mins. longer) Allow the cakes to cool before frosting.
