Pecan toffee cake
37 comments
"In answer to my query.....i used a 20cm tin and the cake baked for an hour rather than the 40mins stated in the recipe. I think that a 23cm tin is too large and the cake would turn out low. it did take on a bit more colour but to prevent it browning too much i covered it with foil. it feels moist and springy to the touch. I also used less pecans for the top, about 50g covered almost the whole surface. Finally another descrepancy i found when reading both recipes is the oven temperature. the magazine states 160C while online it's 180C. i used the latter. Jane please let me know which recipe is correct. The way i did it worked fine but just for the record. thanks xx"

"I have a query. I've read this recipe on line and i've read it in the Dec issue. On line it says to use a 23cm tin and in the magazine it says to use a 20cm tin? which one is correct?"
