Cook: 1 hour 30 minutes

Serves: 6 - 8 generous slices

This is a real treat for a special gathering. Fill and cover ahead of time, so that the cake keeps moist.

Method

Preheat oven to 160°C/Fan 140°C. Grease a 20cm round, deep cake tin and line the base with non-stick baking paper.
Measure all the cake ingredients except the pecan nuts into a large bowl and beat until evenly blended. Stir in the chopped pecan nuts.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and level the surface. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1½ hours, until well risen, golden and springy to the touch. Leave to cool in the tin for a few minutes then turn out, peel off the baking paper and finish cooling on a wire rack.
