Chef Tosca Tip

For an extra burst of flavor and texture, consider adding a handful of chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, to the batter before baking. The nutty crunch will complement the soft texture of the cake and the caramelized pears.

Preheat the oven to 200°C
Peel and slice the pears into 6 equal lengthwise slices
In a pan on medium to high heat, add the sugar and let it caramelize gently by stirring occasionally. Add the sliced pears, a pinch of coarse salt, and half a teaspoon of cinnamon.

Check with a knife or toothpick for doneness
Allow the cake to cool for at least 30 minutes before eating
Turn the cake onto a plate to unmold it and enjoy!
