INGREDIENTS

  • Topping

    • 3 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
    • ¼ cup dark brown sugar
    • 🍐 3 pears - peeled, cored, and sliced

  • Cake Batter

    • 1 ½ cups graham flour
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
    • ½ cup packed dark brown sugar
    • ¼ cup grapeseed oil
    • 🍯 2 tablespoons honey
    • 🥚 3 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 🥛 1 cup whole milk

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pan with 2-inch sides and line the bottom with a round of parchment paper.

2

Add butter pieces to the pan. Place in the preheating oven until melted. Sprinkle brown sugar on top. Arrange sliced pears in a circular pattern over the butter and brown sugar. Set aside.

3

Whisk graham flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, salt, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl.

4

Combine butter, brown sugar, oil, and honey in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add eggs and vanilla extract; beat for 1 minute. Add flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with milk; beat briefly after each addition.

5

Pour batter carefully over the pears. Smooth the top.

6

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes.

7

Cool cake for 10 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack and peel off parchment paper. Allow to cool completely.
