Amazing Pear Cake Recipe
This Pear Cake is made with 3 juicy pears, light vanilla batter with a hint of cinnamon and a little crunch of almonds.
Ingredients
Ingredients for the filling:
- 400 g pears
- 50 g sugar
- 20 g butter
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Ingredients for the cake batter:
- 200 g all-purpose flour
- 12 g baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 eggs (room temperature)
- 100 g sugar
- 100 ml milk (room temperature)
- 100 ml vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Slice the pears into long pieces. Preheat a medium size pan and put a piece of butter in it. Add the pear pieces to the pen, add sugar and the ground cinnamon. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes stirring occasionally until the pears are softened but not mushed.
- In a stand mixer bowl combine the eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla extract. Beat them together for about 5 minutes.
- Reduce the speed of your mixer and slowly add the milk. Then slowly add the vegetable oil and mix for another 20 seconds. Next, sift in the flour and the baking powder. Using a whisk attachment, mix the cake batter for 10-15 seconds on low speed. Then using a spatula, mix it again to make sure no dry flour is left.
- Sprinkle with almonds and bake at 350°F degrees (180°C) for 40-45 minutes. Check the readiness of the cake with a wooden skewer or toothpick. The skewer inserted into the cake should come out dry.
- Cover the cake with the plate and turn it upside down. Remove the baking dish and the parchment paper. Cover the cake with a plate again and turn it upside down one more time.
Notes
Tips for making the Pear Cake Recipe:
- Before making the cake batter make sure that all the ingredients are at room temperature.
- Line your 9-inch baking dish with parchment parchment paper and preheat your oven to 350°F degrees (180°C).
- You can use a hand mixer instead of a stand mixer for this recipe, but you'll need to mix longer to get the right consistency.
