  • 1.5 cups sugar substitute like Natvia
  • 1.5 tsp Baking powder
  • 1.5 tsp Baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp Salt
  • 3/4 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1.5 cups Soured Cream
  • 1.5 tsp Vanilla

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Chop the pecans roughly and add to a small bowl. Break the dark chocolate bar into small pieces by hand. Mix the cinnamon powder and brown sugar and set aside
  2. In a large mixing bowl sieve, the flour, and the sugar - just to ensure no lumps go into. Add the baking powder and baking soda, softened unsalted butter, vanilla and eggs did not use an electric mixer just used a large spatula and mixed the whole thing together well until a proper thick mix was formed. Then I added in the soured cream and mixed well again
  3. Now pre-heat the oven to 180 degree Celsius
  4. Grease a 12'' cake tin using a generous blob of the unsalted butter and pour enough cake mixture to make a thin layer then sprinkle some of the pecan mixture. Repeat at least 3 times until all the cake and pecan mixture is alternatively used up
  5. Bake in the centre of the pre-heated oven at 18 degree Celsius for one hour
  6. Check using a toothpick or a thin knife to check if the cake is done by inserting it into the middle of the cake. If it comes out clean then the cake is done
  7. Place the cake tin on a wire rack and allow to cool completely before releasing the removable base of the tin
  8. Serve with freshly brewed tea
  9. Stores well in the refrigerator for at least a week in an air-tight tin
