12.
Grease a loaf tin and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Put the two mixtures into two separate piping bags and pipe the mixtures into the prepared tin in stripes. Place pecan halves on the dark stripes.
13.
Draw a long fork through the mixture in a spiral movement so that the cake will have a spiral pattern inside. Bake in a preheated oven (180 ° with top and bottom heat, middle shelf) for about 1 hour. When done, leave to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then turn out onto a cake rack. Serve cut into slices.
