How to make it
- Preheat oven to 375F, Butter and line the base of two 20cm cake pans.
- Sift together the flour, ginger, baking powder and salt. Rub in the butter until it resembles crumbs. I made this in a food processor using pulses motions. It is much easier.
- Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and beat in the syrup, sugar, eggs, and pecans and ginger. Pour into the pans and bake for 45 minutes till firm. Cool in the pans 10 minutes.
- Topping:
- Put the golden sugar, egg white, cream of tartar and 2 tbsp hot water in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Beat 10 minutes till thickened and stiff.Layer the cakes with a little icing, swirl the rest over the top and sides.
- Heat the 85 grams sugar with 4 tbsp water till dissolved, and then boil until It forms a caramel. Stir in the pecan halves, cool on an oiled baking sheet and use to decorate
- Note: I used walnuts instead of the pecans as it is so difficult to
- Find pecans in Egypt, however it was so delicious.
