Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
3 eggs
150g
1 tbsp espresso coffee
16g
1 cup water
250g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
120g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1 cup pecans
120g
1 cinnamon stick
3g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease and flour a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Infuse Milk:
- In a small saucepan, combine the milk and cinnamon stick.
- Heat over medium-low heat until the milk is warm (do not boil).
- Remove from heat and let the cinnamon stick steep in the milk while you prepare the other ingredients.
3. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the espresso coffee and mix until well combined.
4. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and self-raising flour.
- Remove the cinnamon stick from the milk mixture.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the water and cinnamon-infused milk. Start and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
5. Add Pecans:
- Fold the chopped pecans into the batter until evenly distributed.
6. Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
7. Cool:
- Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Serve:
- Once completely cooled, slice and serve your delicious coffee pecan cake. Dust with a layer of powdered sugar if desire. Enjoy it with a cup of coffee or tea!

Tips:

- Ensure that your butter is at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smooth and even batter.

- Chop the pecans finely if you prefer a smoother texture in your cake, or leave them in larger pieces for more crunch.

- Brew the espresso fresh for the best flavor, and allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the batter.

- For added depth of flavor, consider toasting the pecans lightly in a dry skillet before incorporating them into the batter.

- If you don't have self-raising flour, you can make your own by adding 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and 0.25 teaspoons of salt per cup of all-purpose flour.

Congratulations! You've just made a marvelous Coffee Pecan Cake. Let it cool before serving and enjoy every heavenly bite.
