Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Grease or spray the sides of the pan with cooking oil.
- Peel the pears and slice them into ¼-inch thick slices. Place the pear slices in a medium-sized saucepan along with the rest of the topping ingredients (3 tablespoons of pure maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and sea salt). Heat over medium-high heat and stir occasionally, until the juicy pears have softened slightly, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the softened pears to the bottom of the pan and arrange them in a circular design, or however you’d like them to look.
- Transfer all of the ingredients for the cake batter to a high-powered blender and blend on low speed to medium-low speed until a smooth batter has formed. Note: if you don’t have a quality blender, use a mixing bowl. To do so, mix the wet ingredients together in a large bowl by hand or with an electric mixer. Mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Mix the flour mixture and the wet ingredients together until a smooth batter forms.
- Pour the cake batter over the pears and spread it into an even layer using a rubber spatula.
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the cake tests clean.
- A great way of telling whether or not a cake is fully baked is by taking its internal temperature. Simply insert a digital thermometer into the center of the cake. If it is 190 degrees or higher, it is ready!
- Remove the cake from the oven and let the cake cool to room temperature. Release the cake from the cake mold. Turn it over onto a large plate or a cake stand and carefully remove the parchment paper from the top. Now, the spiced pears should be showing their glory!
- Slice pear cake and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Notes
- *Replace the avocado oil with 5 tablespoons of melted butter.
- **Replace the cinnamon and nutmeg with 1.5 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice for a pear spice cake.
