I have been meaning to make this cake for weeks. I was sitting in Starbucks with a friend and found this recipe. I had to change it a little bit to get it to work just right for me... so here is my version of it. I hope you enjoy. Its super moist and yummy.
Raspberry, Pear and Almond Cake
You will need:
- Two ripe pears
- 180g butter
- 180g caster sugar
- 2 eggs
- 200g self raising flour
- 100g almond meal
- 1/4 cup of milk
- 200g raspberries (I just used frozen because they are cheaper!)
What to do:
- Beat your butter (the butter must be soft to start with) and sugar until light and fluffy, and its no longer grainy.
- Whisk your eggs, and then slowly add to your sugar mix
- Sift flour and almond meal
- In 4 batches slowly add flour and almond meal, stirring between each addition.
- Add Milk
- Dice pears and add
- Add raspberries
- Grease and line a circle tin with non stick paper
- Put in a preheated oven at 180 and bake for an hour and a quarter.
- Let cool and then sprinkle with icing sugar
Its such a pretty little cake. It has a really good 'homey' feel to it. Its the sort of thing you want to serve when friends 'pop over', or if your having a picnic. Hope you enjoy making it as much as I did.
Thanks for the recipe. I used cherries instead of rasperries because that's what I had around. Scrumptious! :)
