PECAN NUT AND CINNAMON CAKE
Cake:
160 g butter
3 cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup of sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1½ cups milk
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup of pecan nuts crushed
Topping:
90 g butter, melted
½ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon cinnamon
Glace Icing:
1 cup icing sugar
3 tablespoons milk
½ teaspoon vanilla
Few pecan nuts for decoration
Put all ingredients for the cake except the crushed pecan nuts in your mixer and beat for 3 minutes.
Mix in the pecan nuts and put mixture into a greased oven dish. (I used a bundt pan but any square or round dish works fine)
Mix all the topping ingredients together and smear on top of the cake, use a knife to make lines through batter.
Bake at 180°C for 30 minutes.
Cool and drizzle with glaze made of mixing icing sugar with other ingredients.
Decorate with some pecan nuts.
