Source of Recipe


Western Star E-meals Issue 100


List of Ingredients




2 Tbsp Western Star Butter
55g Ground Almonds
3 Eggs
125ml Milk
400g Castor Sugar
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
250g Plain Flour
2 Tsp Baking Powder
3-5 ripe but firm pears, cored and sliced lengthways
Icing sugar (for serving)




Recipe



Preheat the oven to 180 C.
Butter a round 20cm springform cake tin with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Sprinkle half of the almonds inside the tin and shake around so they coat the sides of the tin.

In a large bowl, using electric beaters to mix together the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, flour, and baking powder until they form a thick batter.

Fold in the pears and then spoon the mixture into the cake tin. Sprinkle the remaining almonds on top and dot with the other tablespoon of butter.

Bake for 1 ½ hours, or until cooked through, and remove to cool.

To serve, dust with icing sugar and serve with whipped cream.
