Pear cake


Pear cake

20 January 2022

How about a quick and easy recipe? You'll be delighted with this pear cake. This extremely simple cake is really delicious and the texture is perfect! Don't hesitate to adjust the amount of pears according to your desires (without covering the cake either, that would make it soggy and it would be a pity for the top layer which becomes quite crispy while cooking). Last advice, enjoy it warm, or even cold, but not right out of the oven :-)
