Vickys Spiced Pear Cake, GF DF EF SF NF
My mums pear tree is performing well this year! This is a spin-off from my Pear & Apple Upside Down Cake. I always intended adding a caramel topping to that. You could add chopped pecans or walnuts to this recipe if desired, a couple of handfuls / 1 cup. Either mix through the batter with the chopped pear or scatter on top with a couple extra tablespoons of light brown sugar
