- Preheat the oven at a moderate temperature of 180 degrees C. Grease a round 20 centimeter in diameter mold with melted butter or oil. Cover the base and the walls with wax paper. Sift the flour and the nutmeg in a big bowl. Add in the pieces of butter and the brown sugar. With your finger tips work at the mixture for 3 minutes or until the mixture obtains a bread crumb texture.
- Put half of the mixture on the base of the mold and press it down firmly with a metal spoon until covering the base completely and uniformly. This is now the base of the cake.

- Uniformly put the pecan preparation over the base of the cake and smoothen it with a spatula. Bake the cake from 35 to 40 minutes or until when poking the center of the cake with a wooden pick it comes out clean. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Then put it over a metal rack and allow it to cool. If you want you can sprinkle confectioner’s sugar over it before serving.
