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.
