Ingredients
4cupspears cut in pieces
1/2-1cupraisins
2cupsapple juiceunsweetened or homemade
1cupsbrown sugar
6tbssunflower seed oilcanola oil or melted coconut oil
1tsSalt
1/2tsVanilla sugaror other vanilla extract that you use
1tscinnamon
3cupsflourregular or full grain
2tsbaking soda
1cupswalnutschopped
Instructions
Peel and cut the pears into pieces of 1cm.
The first 8 ingredients of the list put in the saucepan and boil for around 5 minutes. I remove it from the stove and let it cool down at room temperature.
At the same time I turn on the oven and heat it up at 180 C degrees for 10-15 minutes. I oil the loas tin (the size of mine in cm 27 x 11) and sprinkle with a little flour... I remove the surplus flour. You can also use baking spray for this but i prefer the old-fashioned way. The loaf tin can be a little more different of course.
I mix the flour, the baking powder and the walnuts in a bowl. Then I add the chilled mixture of pears and stir well.
I put the cake mixture in the loaf tin and bake for around 40-45 minutes. The baking time depends a lot on the exact size of the cake tin, if you make a check using a toothpick it will be a little moist because of the pear pieces. Don’t wait for the toothpick to be absolutely dry!
When the cake is ready, take it out of the oven and let it cool down for at least 10-20 minutes. After that carefully take it out of the tin.
Notes
You can sprinkle some powdered sugar on top when serving.
