Rustic Pear Cake

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
The secret to fruit cakes is moisture balance. Pears release juice during baking, soaking the sponge and creating a pudding-like, creamy transition between the fruit and the cake. The aroma of vanilla and pear is a classic pairing.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the fruit sink?
This is natural, but if it sinks too much, the batter was too thin. Toss the fruit in flour before adding it!
