Sunday mornings generally invovle watching Something For The Weekend followed by a spot of baking. Today I made a Pecan Ginger Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Icing and decorated with caramelised pecans and spun sugar.
I've been meaning to make this Pecan Ginger Cake for a while now, and as the weather was rubbish I didn't feel like going out today, so I baked instead! This cake is studded throughout with plenty of chopped pecans and chopped cystallised ginger.
The original recipe involves using both muscovado sugar and golden syrup, but I omitted the muscovado sugar and just used golden syrup. Despite this, the cake is really sweet, so to cut through the sweetness, I decided to fill and ice the cake using a lemon cream cheese icing instead of the recommended meringue type icing.
