Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine all dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Set aside. Combine all wet ingredients in a bowl. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Whisk together. Pour cake batter into a prepared 8×8 baking dish, greased parchment paper. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Pop cake out on cooling rack after 15 min of cooling in baking dish and continue to cool. Make Frosting by beating butter till fluffy. Add powder sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, molasses and heavy cream and beat till smooth. Frost cake with a thick layer of frosting. Optional to make the Christmas tree but I use a large star tip and make shells starting from the bottom of the base of the cake. You can also just do piping of stars from the bottom up. Be creative. Sprinkle on sprinkles of choice. Slice and enjoy.
