I'm not sure exactly what you mean by a "maple cake", but here are a couple
of recipes for cakes that use maple syrup as a flavoring:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From "The Official Vermont Maple Cookbook":

	M A P L E   C R E A M   C A K E 

	1 c. cream
	1 egg, beaten
	1 c. maple syrup
	1 tsp. soda
	2 tsp. baking powder
	2 c. flour
	1 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 350F.  Beat cream until thick, but not stiff.  Combine syrup,
soda, and vanilla.  Add beaten egg to this mixture; add to cream.  Sift dry
ingredients together and add to cream mixture.

Pour into an 8"x8"x2" greased and floured pan; bake at 350F for 45 minutes.

Frost with Fluffy Maple Frosting [whatever that is - see below].


------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From "Massachusetts Favorite Maple Syrup Recipes":

	M A P L E   S Y R U P   C A K E

	1/2 c. shortening
	1/2 c. sugar
	1/2 c. maple syrup
	1 tsp. vanilla
	2 eggs, well beaten
	1-3/4 c. cake flour
	1 tsp. salt
	2-1/2 tsp. baking powder
	1/4 c. milk
	1/2 c. chopped nuts (butternuts preferred)

Cream shortening; add the sugar gradually and cream well together.  Add
maple syrup a small amount at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add vanilla and eggs, and beat the mixture vigorously.  Sift the flour,
salt, and baking powder and add to the mixture alternately with the milk.
Mix only enough to blend the flour.  Stir in the nut meats and pour into
a greased 9" square pan.  Bake in 375F oven for 25 minutes.

Frost with maple icing:

	M A P L E   I C I N G 

	1 c. maple syrup
	2 egg whites
	1/4 tsp. salt
	1 tsp. vanilla

	Cook maple syrup until it forms a firm, but not hard ball when
	tested in cold water.  Let stand off stove while beating egg
	whites with the salt until stiff, but not dry.  Add the syrup
	in a fine stream, beating constantl with an electric beater.
	Continue to beat until the frosting holds its shape.  Add
	vanilla and frost.

    or

	Q U I C K   M A P L E   F R O S T I N G

	1/2 c. maple syrup
	2 c. confectioners' sugar
	1 Tbsp. butter

	Bring syrup to boil for one minute.  Remove from heat and stir in
	butter; add sugar and continue cooling until consistency to spread.
	Frosting thickens as syrup cools.
