      Yield: 10 servings 
  
      1 c  Maple syrup 
      1 c  Flour 
      6 ea Eggs 
      1 t  Vanilla (optional) 
  
  Separate eggs.  Put whites in large bowl, yolks in medium bowl. Sift 
  flour several times, put in small bowl.  Beat egg whites until stiff, 
  but not dry.  Set aside.  Beat yolks until light, add syrup ( and 
  vanilla if desired).  Beat again to mix well. Pour yolk syrup mixture 
  into whites and fold gently with wire whip until blended.  Gradually 
  add flour 1 tbsp. at a time while folding mixture.  When blended, pour 
  in large tube pan. (It seems to come out best if this pan is lightly 
  greased with butter and dusted with flour).  Bake at 325Ü for about 1 
  hr.  Cool on rack, then remove cake from pan.  This cake is especially 
  good with no frosting but berries and whipped cream.
