Ingredients

• Softened butter, a delightful 1/2 cup
• Brown sugar, packed tightly in 2 cups
• A generous offering of 5 eggs
• 2 teaspoons of the delightful maple essence
• Evaporated milk, a comforting 1 cup
• All-purpose flour, a versatile 3 cups
• A hint of baking powder, just 1/2 teaspoon
• A touch of salt, 1/2 teaspoon
• Butter, a modest 1/4 cup
• Brown sugar, packed into 1/2 cup
• Confectioners' sugar, sifted with care in 1 1/2 cups
• Milk, a humble 2 tablespoons
• Vanilla essence, a mere 1/2 teaspoon

Step 1

Before you start baking, preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and don't forget to generously grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan. Begin by combining the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and then set it aside for later use.

Step 2

Next, in a spacious mixing bowl, whip together 1/2 cup of butter and 2 cups of brown sugar until the mixture turns light and airy. Gradually add the eggs one by one and then gently fold in the maple flavoring. Alternately, incorporate the flour mixture and evaporated milk into the batter, making sure not to overmix. Once combined, pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Step 3

Allow the cake to bake in the preheated oven for 70 to 80 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Enhance its appearance by decorating it with a luscious Brown Sugar Frosting.

Step 4

For the delectable Brown Sugar Frosting, grab a medium saucepan and combine 1/4 cup of butter, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla over low heat. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture turns smooth and velvety. Your cake is now ready to be adorned with this delightful frosting.
