This is a hybrid cake, half sticky toffee pudding half carrot cake. It came about on my Mum's very recent Birthday dinner. Her favourite cake is carrot cake and I wanted to combine that with an appropriate autumnal pudding and hey ho the Toffee Pecan Carrot Cake was born. For that occasion I served it warm, with lashings of toffee sauce and good quality vanilla ice cream.
