Tip

 

This tastes amazing warm or at room temperature, and tastes great with a dollop of sour cream or natural yoghurt (made in the Thermomix of course!) Always tastes better the next day!!

For a richer flavour, use 70g golden syrup and 70g of treacle.

    Really lovely recipe, quick and versatile.

    I've made 4 times now. I've made as written, I've made a version of pear and vanilla (just no ginger and added vanilla), I've also made a version with tinned diced pineapple and vanilla (just no ginger and added vanilla). Every version has baked beautifully.

    I'm about to make this for the 5th time, it's my goto cake recipe.

    Our whole family loves this cake. I double the recipe in my TM5 and bake it in a 10" X 15" tin for a slightly thicker cake. I also add a tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice and top with cinnamon sugar before baking to add about more flavour.

    I have made this cake 3 times now and it is almost 'inhaled' every time. I have made it with both fresh and tinned pears and it works fine with either. I do add 1 extra teaspoon of ground ginger as we love the taste of ginger but that is the only change I have made. Absolutely delicious recipe - thanks for sharing.i

    Turned out beautifully. I did use a little pear juice from my canned pears and subtracted the liquid amount from the milk, also added an extra egg as ours are only 40g each.

    Very nice cake. The batter is really runny (so i was a bit dubious... but it turned out well) and instead of using 310ml of milk i used 260ml of milk and an extra egg. I could have used a bit more ginger as the flavour is subtle. Thanks.

    Simply amazing. I found this after searching for a recipe I could use a couple of pears in as I had some at the bottom of the fridge. Love ginger so added an extra teaspoon. The cake is probably one of the best I've made - tasted wonderful and so, so easy to whip up. Will be a favourite in future

  • I made this before I headed

    Submitted by bonnielees on 14. April 2015 - 15:29.

    I made this before I headed out to playgroup with the kids this morning.  It took next to no time to mix and get into the oven, and it uses pantry staples that I have, so I didn't even need to shop for or substitute ingredients.

    I used a whole tin of sliced pears instead of fresh and it was delicious.  Nice and light and well spiced.  I didn't feel it was too sweet either, so it was perfect with a cuppa!  

    Everyone loved it.  I will be making this again.

    I like the idea of using apple and cinnamon for variety.  Great recipe, thank you.
