Upside Down Pear and Almond Cake

Name: Upside Down Pear and Almond Cake
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 50 min
Total time: 65 min
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients: 200 g Butter; 225 g Caster sugar; 3 Eggs; 2 tsp Vanilla bean paste; 1/2 Lemon zest; 1 pinch Salt; 200 g Self-raising flour; 100 g Ground almonds; 60 ml Milk; 1 sprinkle Flaked almonds; 2 Pears; 6 tbsp Water; 150 g Caster sugar

There's plenty of pears lying about these days with it being the tail end of the season. And I tell you what, this is the perfect way to use them up! It's ohhh so moist in the middle with a delicious light almond flavour, along with your soft sweet pears on top. Then you have your slight crisp crust from the caramel which is a great combo. According to my Granda the only issue was I only made the one!

Love hearing that Sharon, it's one of our favourites! Pretty sure you could substitute the pears for so many other things. I need to do a pineapple one soon 🤤
