Upside-down pear muffins

Posted by Frances Chan on Sunday, October 24, 2021, In : small cakes 

Pears are ideal to use in these mini cakes as their girth can fit snugly in your muffin tins. I have doubled Donna Hay's recipe from Modern Baking (Fourth Estate, 2018).


Makes 12

4 small pears

1/2 c maple syrup (or honey or brown rice syrup)

2 1/2 c flour of choice

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 c sugar of choice 

2 eggs

2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 c milk of choice

1/2 c neutral vegetable oil


Preheat oven to 180C. Grease a 12-cup muffin tray.

Cut the bottom half of the pears into 12 sl...

Pears poached in red wine

Posted by Bake Club on Monday, June 28, 2021, In : desserts 

For some reason we get given bottles of red wine. Funny that, cos we don't drink! So I have to resort to cooking with wine, which I don't mind, specially when it comes to pears and ice cream. Wine reduces down nicely to a thick sweet syrup.

4 beurre bosc pears

2 c red wine

1/2 c coconut sugar

1 orange peeled into strips

juice of 1 orange

1 cinnamon stick

2 star anise

6 whole cloves

1 tsp vanilla extract or sliced vanilla pod 


Place all the ingredients except the pears into a small saucepan and bring to...

Pear pound cake

Posted by Bake Club on Saturday, July 7, 2018, In : big cakes 

This is an impressive way to present pears in a cake, thanks to Carine Claudepierre from her book Clean Bakery (Bateman, 2016). Carine was inspired by a cake she saw in a French bakery, hence the amount of butter and eggs that give the cake a buttery richness but it is free of gluten and sugar. It's no. 16 of 26 alphabetical bakes!

Poached pears:
1 1/2 litres water
a whole nutmeg (or 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg)
2 cinnamon sticks
1 vanilla pod
1 star anise
1/2 tsp ground ginger
3 pears

Cake:
2 cups ground al...

Ginny's tamarillo, pear and spice cake

Posted by Bake Club on Sunday, June 9, 2013, In : big cakes 

I made this the day Dish posted it on Facebook. Their recipe used sour cream. I didn't have any, so substituted a thick yoghurt... it was still yummy. And great for breakfast the next day
I love using my cast iron and copper sauté pans for making cakes. They cook beautifully and I serve the cakes straight from the pan. Tangy tamarillos combine well with the sweet pears and adding a hint of orange and a dash of spice makes for a moist seasonal cake.


4 large tamarillos

Frances's pear & pecan tart and spinach & cheese pinwheels

Posted by Bake Club on Monday, October 3, 2011, In : desserts 


I have an music video edit session going on in our dining room – what can I feed two hungry media types? Pre-rolled puff pastry to the rescue! Only three sheets left so I made one pear and pecan tart and some spinach and cheese pinwheels.

For pear and pecan tart: peel 3 pears, cut into slices and toss with handful of pecans, some brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger. Spread evenly over pastry sheet, folding up the edges. Baste with some melted honey; you could also brush...
