Notes

  • You can increase the amount of maple syrup/honey, if you like your cake sweeter
  • After 40 minutes, do check if your cake is cooked completely. To do that, insert a skewer right in the centre of the cake. If it comes out clean, your cake is cooked, if not then cook more - 10 minutes at a time
