For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar in the swirl filling. If you don't have maple extract, you can substitute with additional vanilla extract. Be careful not to over-mix the batter after adding the flour, as this can result in a tough cake. The 'Better' Cream can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use. Adjust baking time depending on your oven.
