- Mix the caramel ingredients together in a large heavy bottomed saucepan, bring to the boil and boil for about 8-10 minutes, swirl the pan gently every now and then. Transfer to a bowl to cool. Once cool begin to bake the cake.
- Preheat the oven to 180c/350f and grease two 6″ cake tins and line the base with baking paper.
- Sift together the 2 cups of plain flour, the soy flour, baking powder and the salt. I used a separate bowl, and whisk together the sugar, caramel, oil and soy.
- Combine the wet and the dry ingredients, then fold in the chopped nuts.
- Scoop into the cake tins, level out the batter then bake for 1 hour. Cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
- To make the frosting simply beat the frosting ingredients together.
- To finish the cake drizzle with leftover caramel and top with the chopped pecans.
