                    This recipe goes with Maple Pecan Cake Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                3/4 cup maple syrup  |  
                                                4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature  |  
                                                1/2 cup (1/4 lb.) butter, at room temperature  |  
                                                1/2 cup powdered sugar  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. In a 1- to 1 1/2-quart pan over medium-high heat, bring maple syrup to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, swirling pan occasionally, until reduced by about a third, 10 to 12 minutes. Pour into a glass measure nested in a bowl of ice water and stir constantly until syrup is very thick and barely warm to touch, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from ice water. In a bowl, with a mixer on low speed, beat cream cheese and butter until well blended. Beat in powdered sugar. Scrape in reduced syrup; beat until smooth. 2.
