Description

The coconut milk brings a creamy, fatty richness to the cake without a strong flavor, allowing the pears, cinnamon and caramelized sugar to work together in harmony.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups pears, cubed, set aside in a bowl of water and a bit of lemon juice
  • 1 3/4 cups flour (whole wheat or all purpose should do fine)
  • 3 Weetabix biscuits, crushed (about 3/4 cup)
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup demerara (turbinado) sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 3 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons demerara (turbinado) sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Oil and flour a 9×9 cake pan or two loaf pans.
  3. Incorporate all dry ingredients (flour through walnuts) in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, stir together the wet ingredients (applesauce, coconut milk and olive oil).
  4. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry, and stir just enough to barely combine all ingredients.
  5. Drain the pears and fold them gently into the batter.
  6. Pour batter into prepared tin(s) and sprinkle the two tablespoons of sugar over the top. Bake for 55 minutes to an hour.
  7. Start checking cake after 25-30 minutes. The top should be brown and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out mostly clean.
