For an even "chocolatier" version, add 1/2 cup chocolate chips to the batter. * To turn this into a two-layer cake, double the recipe and bake the batter in two 8-inch cake pans. Place one layer on a platter, spread with frosting (the Maple Icing on page 276 is recommended), add the second layer, and top with more icing.
