Hi @dragnlaw, here's the recipe you kindly requested :
Ingredients :
300g plain flour
150g sugar
3 whole eggs
100g melted butter
1 sachet of baking powder (16g)
grated lemon rind (or lemon aroma)
1 sachet of powdered vanilla aroma
100ml milk
Cinnamon (optional)
3/4 ripe peeled pears (not too small, otherwise you'll need more)
Procedure :
Preheat oven at 180 degrees or 170 if ventilated.
Whisk eggs and sugar in a bowl, add butter, milk, lemon rind and continue mixing Then add the sifted flour a little at a time while mixing, followed by baking powder and finally, the chopped/sliced pears.
If you like, a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Pour mixture in a greased and floured cake tin (24/26 inch) and bake for approx. 40 minutes.
This is the classic recipe for our traditional "Torta di Mele" - Apple Cake, which is a typical Autumn cake when we have huge varieties of apples on sale, but in Summer we have August pears, so we adapt the recipe
.
You can add chocolate chips or raisins for an even more scrumptious delight
