Inexpensive Version:
To save money, you can replace the maple syrup and coconut milk with 2 cups golden/light brown sugar, 1 cup water, and 1/4 cup butter/margarine. Just heat them together in a saucepan until the butter and sugar melt. Then, pour over the batter and bake. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
Lighter Texture:
If you do not caref for a pound cake texture and enjoy lighter cakes, reduced the butter in the cake recipe.
