Cream the butter and sugars together in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
Tip: Use an electric mixer for this step to save time.
- 3
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Tip: Make sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- 4
Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into the mixing bowl. Mix until just combined.
Tip: Don't overmix, as this can lead to a dense cake.
- 5
Stir in the pecan halves.
Tip: Be gentle, as you don't want to crush the nuts.
- 6
Pour half of the batter into the prepared tin. Drizzle with half of the golden syrup.
Tip: This will create the praline centre.
- 7
Sprinkle the brown sugar over the top of the batter.
Tip: This will create a crunchy topping.
- 8
Pour the remaining batter over the top.
Tip: Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
