Salted caramel pear cake image

Bake a cake that has it all: moist, fragrant sponge, silky Italian meringue, tahini buttercream and sharp pear-laced salted caramel. Serve with a cup of tea.

Provided by Rosie Birkett

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 27

2cm piece ginger , grated
4 Williams pears , 3 grated over a sieve, reserving the pear juice for the caramel, 1 peeled, cored and chopped (do this when about to decorate)
360g self-raising flour
15g rye flour
1 tsp ground ginger
½ tsp turmeric
½ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp ground cardamom
½ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
4 eggs
200g golden caster sugar
150g light brown muscovado sugar , sieved
150ml rapeseed or vegetable oil
120g natural yogurt
toasted buckwheat , dehydrated pear and rosemary, to serve (optional)
50g unsalted butter , plus extra for the tins
50ml reserved pear juice
150ml perry
100g light brown muscovado sugar
1 tbsp double cream
generous pinch sea salt
4 egg whites
250g golden caster sugar
250g butter , at room temperature
2 tbsp tahini
1 tbsp vanilla bean paste

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 195C/175C fan/gas 5 ½. Butter and line the base of three 20cm round cake tins. Add the grated ginger to the grated pear and push down with a wooden spoon to squeeze out as much juice as possible.
  • Mix the flours, spices, baking powder and 1 tsp salt in a bowl. In a stand mixer, vigorously whisk the eggs and sugars for 3 mins until thick and frothy. Slowly pour in the oil in a steady stream. Turn the speed down, then add the flour mixture, 2 tbsp at a time, alternating with the yogurt, until incorporated. Mix in the grated pear (for no longer than 20 secs). Divide the mixture between the tins and bake for 25-30 mins or until a skewer inserted comes out dry.
  • For the caramel, heat the pear juice and perry in a pan until reduced to about 50ml. Add the sugar and butter and whisk to a smooth caramel, then add the cream and whisk again until smooth. Add sea salt to your taste - I'd go for a generous pinch, so that the caramel is still fruity and sharp but has a little saltiness to it - then allow to cool slightly to just warmer than room temperature.
  • To make the buttercream, put the egg whites and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Place the bowl over a pan of boiling water, then whisk until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is no longer gritty. Put the bowl in the mixer, then whisk until soft peaks form and the bowl returns to room temperature. Switch to the paddle attachment, then add the butter, one spoonful at a time. Add the tahini, vanilla and a pinch of salt, and beat to a light, fluffy icing.
  • Place the bottom layer of sponge on a platter or cake stand, then top with a layer of the buttercream and scatter over a third of the chopped pear. Repeat with the next two layers. To ice the cake, do an intial layer all over, chill in the fridge for 20 mins, then use the remaining icing to cover everything. Use a stepped spatula to spread it out evenly. Pour the caramel over the top of the cake, and allow it to drip down the sides. Scatter with toasted buckwheat, dehydrated pear and rosemary, if you like.

CARAMEL GLAZED PEARS



Caramel Glazed Pears image

Provided by Moira Hodgson

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 cups fruity white wine, like Riesling (about 1 1/2 bottles)
1 vanilla bean
2 strips lemon rind
4 Bosc pears
2 cups sugar
1 cup water
About 1 cup creme fraiche

Steps:

  • Combine the wine, vanilla bean and lemon rind in a large saucepan. Peel the pears carefully with a vegetable peeler and pull out the blossom end with the tip of the peeler so the pears will be able to stand up. Leave the stem attached. As you peel the pears, drop them in the wine.
  • Bring the wine to simmer and cook the pears until they are tender but not mushy, about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the pears from the syrup and set them aside. Boil poaching liquid to a fourth of a cup.
  • Stand the pears up on a baking sheet. Fill a shallow pan with cold water for cooling the caramel and set aside.
  • Heat the sugar and one cup of water in a small saucepan without stirring until it turns a deep honey color. Remove the saucepan from the heat and dip the bottom in the pan of cold water to stop the caramel from coloring any further. Pour the hot caramel over each pear, covering it completely. If the caramel hardens while you are working, reheat it.
  • Place a spoonful of poaching liquid on each of four plates. Top with a pear and garnish with a dollop of creme fraiche.
