Instructions
This coffee and pecan cake is simple to make, and the results are delicious. To begin, preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4 and grease and line a deep 20cm/8in round cake tin.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and ground almonds.
