minutesIngredients
- Vanilla Cake:
120 g unsalted butter, very soft
150 g granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 tsp vanilla extract
180 g plain flour
150 ml double cream
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/5 tsp salt
- Caramel Pecan Sauce:
100 g unsalted butter
40 ml maple syrup
70 g light brown sugar
100 g pecans, roughly chopped
Directions
- For the cake:
- Preheat the oven to 1700C. Spray a 24 x 12 cm loaf tin with baking spray/oil. Line with parchment paper.
- In a medium-large bowl whisk together butter and sugar until combined. Add eggs and vanilla extract and whisk shortly again. Add half amount of flour and cream and whisk until combined, then add remaining amount of flour and cream as well as baking powder and salt. Stir until well incorporated and no lumps of flour remains.
- Pour the batter into the loaf tin. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the cake feels springy to the touch in the center and a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove cake from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack upside down. The bottom will be the top that you add the caramel topping to. Cool for about 10 minutes.
- For the caramel pecan topping:
- In the meantime, prepare caramel pecan sauce. Combine sugar, butter and maple syrup and heat over medium-low heat only until melted stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and add pecans, stir ans set aside. The mixture will be quite loose at first, but it will thicken as it cools. Cool for about 10-15 minutes until mixture starts to thicken slightly.
- Add caramel pecan topping at the top of the cake. Start at the center of the cake then spread evenly to the edges. If caramel pecan topping seems to be to thick to spread heat it over low heat for a few seconds,
- Slice and enjoy!
