PEAR CAKE
Päronkaka
Fresh fruit like rhubarb, apples or gooseberries always makes a coffee cake moist and good. Here I use grated pears and flavor the cake with both lemon and ginger. It really is DELICIOUS.
Makes 1 cake in a pan holding 6 cups
4 eggs
3½ oz melted butter or margarine
1 teaspoon ground ginger
juice from ½ lemon
2 teaspoons baking powder
0.8 cup flour or slightly more
0.8 cup grated pears, maybe a Little more
Beat eggs and sugar really light and fluffy. Add melted fat, ginger and lemon juice and blend well. Mix baking powder and flour.
Peel and grate the pears and pour off some of the liquid. Stir flour mixture and grated pears in the egg batter and pour it all in a well greased and breaded cake pan. Bake at 350F for about 45 minutes or until the cake is done - try with a skewer.
Leave the cake in the pan for a few minutes to set. Loosen it properly around the edges. Unmould onto a rack and allow to cool. Clean the pan and keep it over the cake so it keeps moist.
Enjoy!
