Maple Sponge Cake

1 cup maple syrup
6 eggs
1 cup flour

Separate the eggs. Beat egg whites until stiff, but not dry. Beat egg yolks with the syrup and vanilla. Fold yolk mixture into whites, then gradually add the flour one tablespoon at a time. Pour the mixture into a lightly-greased tube pan and back for an hour at 325 degrees.
