Pear Cake

Category: , , ,

(This cake is too sticky, but tastes great)

4 pears, peeled
100g soft light brown sugar
4 tbsp milk
200g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp clear honey, plus extra to drizzle
2 tsp ground cinnamon (I do not like cinnamon flavor so I added a pinch)
2 egg whites

1. Grease and line the base of a 20 cm/ 8 inch cake tin

2. Put 1 pear in a food processor with 2 tablespoons of water and blend until almost smooth. Transfer to a mixing bowl.

3. Sieve in the flour and baking powder. Beat in the sugar, milk, honey and cinnamon and mix well.

4. Chop all but one of the remaining pears and add to the mixture.

5. Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form and gently fold into the mixture until fully incorporated.

6. Slice the remaining pear and arrange in a fan pattern on the base of the tin.

7. Spoon the cake mixture into the tin and cook in a preheated oven 300 degreeF for 1.5 hour or until cooked through.

8. Remove the cake from the oven and leave to cook in the tin for 10 minutes.

9. Turn the cake out on to a wire cooling rack and drizzle with honey, leave to cool completely then cut into slices to serve.
