Ken Haedrich has a thing for our national condiment, which is amazing for an American (forget that every Yankee will sing the praises of Vermont Maple Syrup, deep down everyone knows Canada’s is the best).

We challenge you to do just that with this recipe for Buttermilk Maple Spice Cake.See the recipe here.
