Ingredients

Pear · thinly sliced2 + ¼ cups
Maple syrup3 tbsp
Milk¾ cups
Lemon1 tbsp
Sugar⅓ cups
Oil¼ cups
Vanilla1 tsp
Cinnamon1 tsp
Flour1 ½ cups
Baking powder2 tsp
Baking soda¼ tsp
Salt½ tsp

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line the bottom of an 8- or 9-inch cake pan with parchment.
Arrange the pear slices in the pan as you like, then pour the maple syrup over them (or sprinkle with the sugar).
Blend the remaining pear with 1 to 2 teaspoons of water until smooth like applesauce. Measure out 1/4 cup for the cake (or use applesauce instead).
Whisk all the wet ingredients in a bowl until well combined.
Mix the baking powder, baking soda and salt into the flour. Add 1 1/4 cups of this flour to the wet ingredients, then add 1 to 2 tablespoons more flour at a time until you have a thick batter that is neither too stiff nor too runny.
Pour the batter gently over the pears and spread it evenly.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Cool for 15 minutes, then invert the cake onto a plate. Carefully peel off the parchment.
Sprinkle the pears with a good pinch of cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice or another spice blend. Cool for another 10 minutes, then slice.
