Serves 8

Ingredients

2 tbsp milled flaxseeds
6 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
120g almond paste/butter
80g dark brown sugar
80g apple puree
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
100g white flour
80g ground almonds
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
4 tsp ground ginger
pinch of salt
3 poached Bosc pears *see note

Method

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
Grease and line a 20cm cake tin.

Combine all ingredients (except pears) to make a batter.
Pour into prepared tin.
Place halved and cored pears on top of batter and sprinkle a little extra brown sugar on top (about 1 tablespoon).
Bake for 40 minutes turning the cake tin after 20 minutes.

* I have not included a recipe for poaching pears here but it is super easy - just simmer peeled pears 1/2 covered in water with 1/2 cup sugar and whatever spices you like. I used star anise, cinnamon stick, cloves. Simmer until just tender, don't over cook.
