Ginger Spice Cake

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°. Line bottom of a greased 9-in. round baking pan with parchment; grease paper.
• In a large bowl, beat butter, maple syrup and brown sugar until blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. In another bowl, whisk flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, allspice, nutmeg and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition (batter may appear curdled).
• Transfer to prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 50-55 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack; remove paper. Cool completely. If desired, serve with whipped cream and additional maple syrup.
