Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2¼ cups cake or all purpose flour (sifted)
1½ cup sugar (fine granulated white sugar)
½ cup butter (soft, unsalted)
⅓ cup canola oil (or vegetable oil)
2 tsps. baking powder
2 tbsps. vanilla extract
4 whole eggs
½ cup milk
3 whole ripe pears (peeled and thinly sliced)
⅛ tsp. salt (Just a pinch)
1 tsp. lemon zest ((optional))
2 tbsps. confectioner suger (for dusting after baking)
1/4 cup brown sugar (or less as desired)
¾ tsp. cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Peel and slice the Pears.
  • In an electric mixer bowl, whip up the sugar and butter until well combined for about 1 minute.
  • Add in the vanilla, lemon zest and eggs. Continue mixing on high speed for 1-2 minutes until they are well combined.
  • Add in the baking powder, sifted flour and a pinch of salt. Mix again for about 1 minute. Gradually add ½ cup of milk and ⅓ cup oil while mixing on low speed. Mix for another minute or two on low speed.
  • Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and grease or spray a round spring foam baking pan then pour the batter in. Ideally, a 10 x 3 inch deep pan is the best size.
  • After placing the batter in your pan, spread a layer of the sliced pears to cover the whole batter. Sprinkle some cinnamon and the brown sugar on top of the pears.
  • Bake in a pre-heated 350 F oven for 40 minutes then lay over an aluminum foil wrap on top to cover the cake and bake for another 10-15 minutes depending on your oven. Insert a wooden skewer to make sure it's completely clean before removing the cake. It may take less or a bit more time depending on your oven.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and cover with a kitchen towel to let it cool down. It may take up to 1 hour to completely cool down. Dust with some confectioner sugar right before serving.

PEAR GELéE



Pear Gelée image

use this as a garnish for Chocolate-Pear Cake (page 98), but it would be delicious in the bottom of a glass of champagne.

Yield makes one 9 x 12-inch pan

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup (50g) water
3 teaspoons powdered gelatin (or 13.5g sheet gelatin; see page 276)
1 cup (300g) Simple Syrup (page 184)
2/3 cup (150g) pear eau-de-vie, such as Poire William
Grated zest of 1 orange

Steps:

  • Run a 9 x 12-inch rimmed baking sheet under cold water and shake off the excess. Line the damp pan neatly with plastic wrap. (The water will help the plastic stick to the pan.)
  • Put the water in a small bowl and sprinkle with the gelatin. Let sit for at least 1 minute. Microwave for 30 seconds or heat gently in a saucepan until melted.
  • Combine the simple syrup and eau-de-vie in a large measuring cup. Add the gelatin and whisk for about 45 seconds. Whisk in the zest.
  • Pour into the baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set. To serve, turn out onto a cutting board and cut into small squares. Or use a whisk to break the gelée up into irregular shapes.
