step 1
Preheat the oven to 170°C/150°C fan/gas mark 3. Line a loaf tin with greaseproof paper.
step 2
Using a hand-held electric whisk or free-standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream thebutter (190 g) and sugar (190 g) until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs (3), one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl between each addition and making sure the egg is fully combined before adding the next one.
step 3
In a separate bowl, sift the flour (190 g), baking powder (1 tsp), cinnamon (1 tsp) and ¼ tsp of salt, then add these dry ingredients to the batter in two stages, mixing at low speed until just incorporated. Stir in the yofurt (25 g) and half the honey (4 tbsp), then fold in the 3/4 of the chopped pecans (80 g) and the raisins (60 g)
step 4
Scrape the batter into the lined loaf tin and bake for 50-60 minutes, until the sponge feels springy when pressed lightly and a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
step 5
While the cake is baking, place the remaining wildflower honey in a small saucepan with 50ml water and bring to the boil, simmering briefly for 2-3 minutes, until reduced and syrupy.
step 6
Pour the warm syrup over the cake as soon as it comes out of the oven, then scatter with the remaining chopped pecans. Leave to cool in the tin for 20 minutes or so, then turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
