Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C and grease a plum cake mold with butter.
Sift flour, baking powder, and baking soda into a medium bowl. Set aside.
Add sugar, butter, and salt to a stand mixer bowl and beat at high speed until light and fluffy (5 minutes).
Mix in the eggs one by one, the vanilla extract, and cinnamon powder until fully combined.
Set the mixer to medium speed and mix in half of the flour and Mexican crema.
Add remaining flour, crema, and milk. Mix for 2 minutes or until nicely combined.
Last, add ½ cup of chopped pecans to the batter and use a spatula to combine.
Add the batter to the prepared mold.
Bake on the medium rack for about 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Remove the mold from the oven and allow the cake to rest for 5 minutes.
Carefully remove the panqué from the mold and place it on a cooling rack.
Once at room temperature, spread the cajeta on top and sprinkle the pecans.
Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
Do not open the oven until 30 minutes have passed, at least, or the cake will deflate.
You can replace the loaf pan with a 9-inch (23cm) round pan if you want.
The cake and pecans topping is optional, you can just dust the panqué with confectioners sugar and enjoy right away.
