How to make autumn pear cake step by step

Step 1 – preparations

• Turn on the oven to heat to 180℃ (top/bottom mode) or 170℃ (fan-forced).
• Grease the baking pan with butter and dust with flour or line with baking paper.
  
• Wash the pears, peel them, remove the core, and cut the fruit into larger cubes.
  approx 300 g pears
  

Step 2 – preparing the dough

• Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl – except for the sugar.
  300 g wheat flour – all-purpose, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 0,5 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 0,5 teaspoon nutmeg
  
• In a second larger bowl, mix the oil, eggs, and sugar.
  180 ml oil, 200 g sugar, 2 eggs
  
• Add the mixed flour to the bowl and mix – the dough will be very thick – if it’s too thick and won’t combine, you can add a little milk.
  
• Add the chopped pears to the bowl and mix – the dough will coat them more.
  
• Transfer the dough to the prepared pan.
  

Step 3 – preparing the crumble

• Transfer the crumble ingredients to a smaller bowl and knead them together with a fork or your fingers.
  25 g butter, 35 g wheat flour – all-purpose, 30 g sugar, 0,5 teaspoon cinnamon
  
• Sprinkle the crumble over the top of the cake.
  

Step 4 – baking the pear cake

• Place the pan with the cake in the preheated oven and bake for about an hour – until a skewer comes out clean.
• After baking, cool the cake before serving.

Why is it worth baking such a quick pear cake?

You can prepare this cake in literally a dozen minutes! And without even turning on a mixer! Choose two nice, juicy pears – you don’t even have to peel them if you don’t want to, mix flour with baking powder and aromatic spices, add wet ingredients, and you can already bake the cake. The hardest part will be waiting for the cake to bake, because during that time, the whole house will smell heavenly of cinnamon and the sweetness of fruits! After baking, let the cake cool slightly and you can eat it when it’s still gently warm and even more aromatic. Then add a scoop of your favorite ice cream, and a delicious dessert is ready! If you like pears combined with cinnamon, then this autumn pear cake is just for you!

What ingredients are needed to bake a pear cake?

To make this cake at home, you will only need a few basic ingredients that you either already have or can easily buy in any store. Below is a short list of the products I used and possible substitutes:

• pears – I used two medium-large ‘Klapsa’ pears, which I peeled; you can also use other pears – e.g., ‘Conference’ pears; the best here will be pears that are only slightly soft, or slightly firm, because they need to be mixed with a very thick batter; if they are too soft, they might turn into a mush
• oil – I used rapeseed oil, but it can be any oil with a delicate flavor, or even olive oil ultimately
• nutmeg – if you don’t have this spice, add more cinnamon, or use gingerbread spice
• salt – salt added to cakes enhances their flavor, so it’s worth adding; if you’re afraid of a salty taste in the cake, add a pinch of salt instead of half a teaspoon
