Maple Syrup Cake

 It was Ben's 11th Birthday yesterday, and here he is with his Maple Syrup Cake.
As you can see it was quite substantial!
It was straight forward to make. My only comment would be that the recipe says "fill and cover ahead of time so that the cake keeps moist". I made it on Friday, and although it was still lovely and moist, the cream covering very quickly cracked, and it didn't look quite so attractive.
The cake received mixed reviews. The general verdict was that it was a nice cake, texture etc, but it was not everyone's choice.
Mum gave it a 9.0, but Ben only gave it 7.0, which was a shame. I think when he chose it, he did not realise that it had pecans in.
Overall score 8.0
