Pour batter into pre lined trays and bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until skewers comes out completely clean.
( for this cake i did 4 layers, simply divide the cake batter to fit 4 cake tins etc to make a larger layered cake )
Cream Cheese Frosting
Beat cream cheese and butter in a standing electric mixer or a bowl for a handheld mixer at medium speed until smooth.Gradually add sugar into the cream mix and beat at a low speed until all combine. Add vanilla and continue to beat until light and fluffy. To layer your cake simply fill each layer with the cream cheese frosting then layer a cake on top, with the remaining frosting cover the cake and put remaining pecans to decorate. Store in refrigerator
* egg = you can use an egg replacer such as no egg or make your own from flaxseed or chia. 1 tbs chai/flaxseed to 3 tbs water, whisk until all seeds are covered in water and it forms a gel like paste, place in fridge for up to 15 minutes.
