Warm Pear and Apple Cake
Ingredients
Pear & Apple Cake
makes 10-12 pieces
256 g all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
250 g unsalted butter, room temperature
227 g granulated sugar
176 g eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp milk
2 baking apples, peeled, cored and cut into cubes (Golden Delicious)
2 pears, peeled, cored and cut into cubes (Conference)
method
01 prep
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).
Grease a 12-inch cake pan with butter or line it with parchment paper. Chop your pears and apples into small chunks. I like them to be of different sizes.
02 Make the batter
Whisk together the 256 g flour, 1 tsp of cinnamon, 2 tsp baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
Whisk together butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl for about 5 minutes. Next, add your 176 g of eggs one at a time. Beat in the 1 tsp of vanilla and 1 tbsp milk.
Slowly sift in your dry ingredients. Then, use a spatula to fold in your apples and pears.
03 bake
Pour the batter into the prepped cake pan. Bake for about one hour, or until the cake is golden on top and passes the toothpick test. Let it cool for about 20 minutes.
Serve warm with a cup of coffee or tea. :)
