Pear and Yogurt cake


It has been a stressful week and when I'm stressed, I bake even more than usual as I find it therapeutic.  The act of measuring, mixing, baking, transforming something into a delicious treat for friends and family.  The extra warmth the oven releases into the kitchen is also welcome.

This cake doesn't have alarming amount of butter or sugar.
It's a light and moist everyday kind of cake.


Butter 120g
Brown sugar 100g
Eggs 2
Yogurt 200ml
Self Raising Flour 210g
Cinnamon and or cardamon powder 2 tsp

Pear
Raw sugar 2 tbs
Icing sugar

Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius.

Beat butter and brown sugar till fluffy and beat in the eggs and yogurt.
Add flour and spice last and mix till well combined.

Bake in a lined 20cm cake tin with sliced pear on top with a sprinkle of raw sugar to finish.
It depends on the oven, but it takes 30~45 minutes.

Powder some icing sugar on top when cool.

  2. Hello Rita! I'm so sorry it took me such a long time to even realise that you left a comment for me. I'm still finding my way around this blogspot. I have heard all about you from Lafita too. Let's meet up soon.
