Instructions

IngredientsChef's Tips
Recipe Progress

•Preheat oven to 180°C (170°C fan). Line & grease an 8” square pan.

•Now prepare cake batter. In a bowl sieve flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt & cinnamon powder. Mix everything together.

•In a stand mixer cream butter & sugar until light and fluffy

•Add eggs one at a time, mix well.

•Add milk+ yogurt mixture in wet ingredients in batches, gently mix. Then add coffee (which is dissolved in hot water & cooled) and Add prepared dry ingredients mixture and gently fold. DO NOT OVERMIX.

•In a saucepan, melt the butter, golden syrup and light brown sugar over low-medium heat, stirring until well combined and slightly bubbly. Pour into the prepared pan, spread evenly.

•Arrange pecans over the caramel layer and then pour the batter.

•Bake for 45-50 minutes. Start checking for doneness at the 45-minute mark by inserting a tooth pick into the center of the cake. It should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.

•Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully flip it onto a serving plate while it is still warm, but not hot.

•ENJOY!

Notes

At the 40-minute mark, if the cake has developed a brown layer on the top and it’s still raw inside then cover it loosely with aluminum foil to prevent the top from burning. Continue baking until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.

Chef's Tips

  • FOR THE MOST ACCURATE RESULTS, ALWAYS USE MEASUREMENTS IN GRAMS RATHER THAN CUPS.
  • Don't panic if the batter looks curdled after adding the eggs and greek yogurt, this is completely normal! It will come together beautifully once you add the dry ingredients.
  • If you like it, you can sprinkle some desiccated coconut on top.
