Ingredients
Instructions
-
-
Preheat oven 350°F and grease an 8” round cake or tart pan with olive oil.
-
Whisk dry ingredients together in a separate bowl
-
Halve and core pears and apple, slice half and dice the other
-
In your stand mixer bowl (or use a handheld electric mixer) place oil, maple syrup and eggs. Using the whisk attachment whisk together at medium/high speed until thick and pale.
-
Add the buttermilk and mix slowly until combined.
-
With the mixer on slow speed, mix in flour mixture until just combined. Scrape down the sides then beat at a higher speed for 30 seconds.
-
Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in the diced pear and apple.
-
Scrape the cake batter into the prepared pan.
-
Top with pear and apple slices into whatever pattern you desire (I got all different colored fruit so it looked a little more festive).
-
Bake for 55-60 minutes on your top rack (my rule of thumb is as soon as you start to smell it, check it).
-
Allow to stand for 10 minutes, slice and serve.
