MAPLE BACON CAKE
Bacon addicts, unite! This cake tastes like pancakes and bacon together - yes it is a lot of butter... and an entire pound of bacon, but is it worth it? ABSOLUTELY!!! Now that I have made it once, everyone wants it for their birthday! Future plans: try making it pineapple upside down variety, with bacon of course!

- 4. Cool in pan for 10 minutes (no more!)and invert cakes out of pan carefully onto plates to cool completely.
- 5. Take about 2/3 of the cooled bacon and dice VERY fine.
