Pear is an understated fruit and is often overlooked. However, its an amazing versatile fruit and is so juicy during the season.

We love pears and every year I make it a point to come up with a recipe with pears. Hence, my pear smoothie is a favorite fall beverage. I love baking pear muffins and its quite a hit recipe. My friends love to indulge in pear brownies too.

How to make Vegan Pear Cake

Firstly, in a blender, I combined chopped green pear, oat milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract and apple cider vinegar.

Next, I poured in the blended pear mixture into the flour mixture along with soaked flax meal.

Then, I whipped it into a thick batter.

Thereafter, I spooned it out in a prepared round cake pan and garnished it with sliced pears and sliced almonds.

Afterwards, I baked it in the middle rack of the preheated oven at 350-degree Fahrenheit for 40 minutes.

When done, I turned off the oven and took it out. I let it cool down a bit and gently released the cake by inverting the pan on a flat plate. I inverted the cake again on another flat plate so the decorated part of the cake can face upward.

We all enjoyed this easy fall treat with our tea. Hence, it’s a delicious and an awesome tea time cake too.

Expert tips:

  • Make sure to blend 1 whole pear that’s roughly chopped. For garnishing, its important to use another pear. At the same time the garnishing pear should be very thin slices and just few slices should be decorated on its top.
  • Most importantly, soak flaxmeal until its thick and jelly like consistency.

Ingredients

  • 1 large green pear (seed removed and roughly chopped)
  • 1/4 cup oat milk
  • 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup flaxmeal (soaked in 1/2 cup warm water)
  • 2 cups oat flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom powder

Garnishing

  • 5-6 thin slices of pears
  • 2 tbsp sliced/slivered almonds
  • powdered sugar (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven at 350-degree Fahrenheit and prepare an 8-inch round cake pan.
  • In a blender combine chopped pear, oat milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract and apple cider vinegar and blend it smooth.
  • In a large bowl, combine oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cardamom powder. Mix it well.
  • Now, pour the blended pear and soaked flaxmeal into the oat flour mixture and whip it into a thick batter.
  • Spoon out the batter in the prepared cake pan and tap it lightly so the batter takes the shape of the pan.
  • Decorate its top with pear slices and sliced almonds. Place it in the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake it for 40 minutes or until the tester comes out clean.
  • Turn off the oven and take it out. Let it cool and invert the cake pan on a flat plate. Gently, invert the cake on another plate so the front decorated part of the cake is facing upwards. Sprinkle powdered sugar over the cake. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure to slice the pears to decorate as thin as possible or else the baking time would increase because the cake may be undone under the pear slices.
  • It tastes best when served the same day. However, leftovers may be refrigerated in an air tight container for 4-5 days. Warm it lightly in a microwave before serving.
  • The best way to sprinkle powdered sugar is to take about 2 tsp powdered confectioner sugar in a small strainer and sift it directly over the top of the cake.
