Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease and lightly flour (I use Pan Release, Professional Pan Coating (Better Than Pam Spray!)) two 9-inch cake pans, then line the bottoms with waxed paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour and the ginger and set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and the sugar until fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating until well combined.
- Beat in the maple syrup gradually.
- Add the flour mixture in thirds, alternating with the water, beating after each addition until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pans; prepare a hot water bath to be placed on the rack underneath the cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until cake tests done (the toothpick test).
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely on wire rack.
- To make the original frosting: In the top of a double boiler, combine first five ingredients. Cook over boiling water, beating constantly on the medium-high speed of an electric mixer, until mixture stands in peaks (about 5-7 minutes). Remove the pot from heat. Add the vanilla and the maple extracts and continue beating 1 minute more until thick enough to spread.
- To make the buttercream frosting: mix butter, extract and syrup till smooth. Add powdered sugar (a few tablespoons at a time), beating on high speed (my handmixer has three speeds) till frosting reaches desired consistency.
- When cake has cooled, ice between the layers. Ice top and sides of cake, sprinkling the top with chopped walnuts.
