         Title: Spice Cake With Maple Frosting   
    Categories: Cakes   
         Yield: 1 Cake   
      
   MMMMM-------------------------SPICE CAKE------------------------------   
         2 c  AP flour; sifted   
       3/4 c  Sugar   
       3/4 c  Milk   
       1/2 c  Light brown sugar; packed   
         2    Eggs   
         1 ts Vanilla   
     2 1/2 ts Baking powder   
         1 ts Salt   
         1 ts Cinnamon   
         1 ts Allspice   
       1/2 ts Ground cloves   
       1/2 ts Ground nutmeg   
       1/2 c  Vegetable shortening   
      
   MMMMM-----------------------MAPLE FROSTING----------------------------   
       1/4 c  Vegetable shortening   
       1/2 ts Salt   
       1/3 c  Pure maple syrup   
         2 ts Vanilla   
         3 tb Milk   
         3 c  Powdered sugar   
      
     Spice Cake:   
      
     Heat oven to 350?F. Grease and flour two 8" round cake pans. In a   
     large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and spices.   
     Cut in shortening and stir to blend well. Add milk, then stir in   
     sugars, eggs, and vanilla.   
      
     Beat with an electric mixer set on low until blended, scraping the   
     sides of the bowl. Beat on high for 3 minutes. Pour batter into cake   
     pans. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the   
     center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pans. Remove to   
     wire racks and let cool completely.   
      
     Maple Frosting:   
      
     Sift sugar. In a large bowl combine shortening, salt, syrup, vanilla,   
     and 1 cup of sugar; mix well. Gradually beat in remaining sugar and   
     milk until frosting is smooth and creamy. If too thin, add a little   
     more powdered sugar. If too thick, add a little more milk. Use   
     frosting immediately.   
      
     If, for some reason, you don't like maple frosting, buttercream works   
     nicely with the spice cake, too.
