Check after 35 minutes using a wooden skewer to test for doneness. If it comes out clean, take it out of the oven. Also, make sure your oven temperature is correctly set...an oven thermometer is very helpful when manufacturer settings are not always accurate. Also, don't overbeat your ingredients, as this will also contribute to a dry cake! I might adjust the amount the maple syrup in the frosting. Start with a teaspoon and adjust to taste.
