A little afternoon coffee accompaniment yesterday. Totally one of my favorite recipes. Originally I stole it from David Lebovitz. He calls it French Apple Cake. I kinda prefer pears. Even though I think they make it a little mushier, I like the texture.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup AP Flour
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 8 tbsp butter
- 4 pears
Directions
-
Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt so it all gets dispersed evenly.
-
In a separate bowl, beat eggs until foamy. Whisk in sugar and vanilla.
-
Melt the butter and whisk half of it into the egg mixture.
-
Stir in the dry ingredients.
-
Stir in the remaining butter.
-
Peel and halve the pears. Remove the seed core with a small spoon and slice out any stem. Slice pears in wedges.
-
Fold pears into the batter. Then spread in a buttered baking pan. I used a springform. As long as your batter is somewhere around 1" deep you should be good.
-
Bake for about 50 minutes. It looks cool if you kinda arrange the pear slices on top before you bake it.
