For the streusel topping:
1 cup oats
3/4 cup white rice flour

1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
Pinch of ground cinnamon
For the cake:
1 pound (grapefruit-size portion) Apple Cider Brioche

Grated zest of half an orange

PEAR PUDDING CAKE (OR APPLE, PEACH...) IN CROCK-POT



Pear Pudding Cake (Or Apple, Peach...) in Crock-Pot image

This is a simple crockpot recipe I got from another mom. If your crockpot cooks hot, I recommend a shorter time and checking it periodically. I did mine on high and it started burning around the edges at 2 1/2 hours. All I had to serve with it was powdered sugar and my 5 yo gobbled down 2 pieces, asking for more!

GRANDMA'S APPLE OR PEAR CAKE



Grandma's Apple or Pear Cake image

My Grandmother and Great Grandmother made this for years for family functions. It was always apple cake until my Grandmother moved into a house that had pear trees. It's fantastic with pears also.

Provided by Karen Humbert

Categories     Cakes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 c flour
2 c sugar
2 eggs
1 1/4 c oil
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 c chopped pecans
3 c chopped apples or pears
2 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and oil. Beat eggs and add sugar. Mix with flour mixture. Add pecans, fruit and vanilla. Bake in a bundt or tube pan for 1 hour at 350 degrees.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use Fresh, Ripe Fruit: The fresher and riper the fruit, the better your cake will taste. If you can, use organic fruit for the best flavor.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the Cake Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to tell if the cake is done baking. If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake longer.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely Before Frosting: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.

Conclusion:

Apple pear cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist crumb, sweet and tangy filling, and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
