Ingredients

GLAZE

  • 3 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 4 medium pears

BATTER

  • 2 cups ground almond
  • 1/2 cup tapioca flour
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp sodium bicarbonate
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp seasalt
  • 3 medium eggs
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup plant based milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 170 degrees C or 155 degrees C. for fan ovens. Grease a 9 inch round cake tin and line the base with parchment paper. Then use coconut oil to grease the sides of the tin
  • Place a pan over a medium heat and melt the coconut oil and honey for the glaze. Once melted, add the sliced pears or whatever fruit you are using, and coat them in the glaze. Take the pan off the heat and let the mixture cool for about 5 to 10 minutes. Once cooled arrange the pear slices in the bottom of the pan in whatever pattern you like and make sure you pour any extra glaze over the slices.
  • Place the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another bowl. The wet ingredients will need whisking so they are thoroughly combined.
  • Add the wet and dry ingredients together and mix until well combined. If the batter doesn't pour then add a bit more milk to loosen it up.
  • Pour the batter over the pear mixture, in the tin and bake in the oven for between 40 and 50 minutes. Start checking it after about 35 minutes. You know it's ready when a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool for 20 minutes outside the oven and then place a plate or a cake stand over it, flip then tap the bottom of the cake tin to make sure it comes out.
  • Slice and serve!
