Brown Sugar Maple Icing
This icing takes a little more trouble to make but is well worth it. Brown sugar, maple syrup (genuine if possible!) and walnuts are a great combination.

- 1 1/4 cups (200g) packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (85ml) maple syrup

This could be better - it didn't thicken at all, so could only be drizzled over the cake as a very sweet sauce. - 30 Dec 2015
Excellent recipe, very light and fluffy with lots of maple flavor! Substituted the cream of tartar for vinegar (3X amt of tartar amt) since I did not have any and was still great! Loved it! - 21 Apr 2009 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
This was good but a little sticky rather than peaky. I doubled the cream of tarter and that helped it peak more. I also removed it from the double boiler once everything was thickening up. I put it on a Black Walnut cake and my husband loved it. Garnished with walnuts on top of frosting. - 06 Jul 2004 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
