# Anjou pear cake
|
|
|
|
### Ingredients
|
|
* 1 pounds pears
|
|
* 1 pieces lemon, juiced
|
|
* 1.5 cups flour
|
|
* 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
|
|
* salt
|
|
* 2.5 ounces caster sugar
|
|
* 2 large eggs
|
|
* 2 ounces butter, melted
|
|
* 1 tablespoons water
|
|
* 3 tablespoons apricot jam
|
|
* 3 tablespoons water
|
|
|
|
### Directions
|
|
|
|
Peel, core and cut up the pears, dropping them into a bowl containing the lemon joice and turning them in the juice so that they do not darken.
|
|
|
|
Mix the remaining ingredients in the order given, then fold in the pears with any juice. Turn into a lined 8" tin that has been brushed with extra melted butter. Bake for an hour at 180C/Gas 4, or until cooked.
|
|
|
|
Make a glaze by boiling together the apricot jam and water then sieving out any lumps.
|
|
|
|
Remove the cake from the tin and brush it all over with the apricot glaze. It can be eaten warm as a pudding, with cream if you like, as well as cold.
