Apple pear cake
A delicious, soft cake that comes from my mum. Serve it warm or cold with a scoop of apple or pear sorbet - so elegant! I use a Golden Delicious apple for this recipe.

- Preheat the oven to 180 C / Gas 4. Butter a 20cm cake tin or loaf tin, or line with baking parchment.
- Whisk together the eggs, melted butter, caster sugar, flour and baking powder until smooth and creamy. Stir in the apple and pear. Pour into the prepared cake tin.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a skewer inserted near the centre comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then remove to cool completely on a wire rack.

hi this is a lovely recipe used all pears and no apple. - 20 Oct 2014
This turned out really well, better than I expected. Very light and airy, not dense like some other fruit based cakes. I did tweak it a bit, I used 170g plain flour and 20g cornflour. Highly praised by Mr Cakeaholic too! - 11 Apr 2014
Yummy recipe! Added 25g of cocoa powder and a teaspoon of cinnamon and baked for 45mins on 160 C (fan assisted oven). It came out very light and moist. Will definitely be baking this again! - 06 Feb 2016
