This maple genoise has become my go to cake whenever I want something special but don't have all day to spend in the kitchen. The whole thing comes together in just an hour, and there's real Canadian maple syrup doing the heavy lifting flavor wise. I love that I've swapped in Greek yogurt, which adds protein and keeps the crumb incredibly moist without any heaviness. It's elegant enough for company but honest enough for a quiet afternoon with coffee, and honestly, it costs way less to make than you'd think.
