1/4cupspreadable maple butteror honey
Instructions
In a small pot, combine 4 tablespoons of maple syrup and the cinnamon over medium heat.Bring to a boil, stirring slowly. Remove from heat and whisk in the salted butter until it is melted and the syrup is smooth and a little creamy. Cool to room temperature.
In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the cream to soft peaks. Turn off the mixer and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and the vanilla. Beat again until very stiff. You are now ready to assemble your cake.
Place a waffle on a cake stand or platter and brush with about a tablespoon of the cinnamon syrup, letting it pool slightly in the pockets. Dollop about a third of the whipped cream on and spread it around evenly. Drizzle a tablespoon of maple butter over the whipped cream. (If it is not runny enough, simply warm it slightly in the microwave.)
Place a second waffle on top of the decorated first and repeat the layers: syrup, whipped cream, maple butter. Place the final waffle on the cake. Brush lightly with cinnamon syrup and heap all the remaining whipped cream on top, piling it up at least 4-5 inches high.
Drizzle the remainder of the maple butter on top of the whipped cream. At this point the cake can hold, refrigerated, for several hours before serving.
Generously drizzle the remainder of the cinnamon syrup all over the cake, letting it drip down the sides, then serve at once. To plate, use a bread knife cut the cake into wedges and serve.
