Maple Sugar Filling for Cake

Break into small pieces sufficient maple sugar to make one cup. Put it into a saucepan with one cup of sweet cream and one cup of coffee sugar. Heat slowly, stirring occasionally, until the maple sugar is entirely dissolved. Boil steadily without stirring until, when a little is tried in very cold water, it can be rolled into a soft ball between the thumb and finger. Take at once from the fire, stir in a cup of chopped pecans, let stand for five minutes, then stir slowly until it begins to thicken, and spread between the layers of cake.
