Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. For the Cake, grease and flour 2 (9-inch) round cake pans. Mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and spices in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Beat butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time. Mix in vanilla. Gradually beat in flour mixture alternately with milk on low speed until just blended. Do not overbeat. Pour batter into prepared pans.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pans; cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the Frosting, beat butter, maple syrup, and vanilla in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, beating well after each addition and scraping sides and bottom of the bowl frequently. Trim edges of cake layers.
- Place 1 cake layer on a serving platter. Spread with 1/2 of the Frosting. Top with the second cake layer. Spread the top with the remaining Frosting.
