This one has such a funny texture. It's so heavy and moist. And then there is the beer. Nothing can go wrong when you add beer into any kind of batter, trust me. I used our typical dark beer Kozel but even sweeter Guiness would do.
You'll need:
- 4 big pears peeled and chopped or sliced to whatever shapes you prefer
- 100g sugar
- 50g butter
- juice from 1 lemon
- 250ml dark beer (or stout or whatever you call it)
- 4 table spoons honey
- 2 tea spoons baking soda
- 3 eggs
- 150g sugar
- 160ml sunflower oil
- 270g flour (I used 1/2 all-purpose and 1/2 rye)
- 1 tea spoon cinnamon powder
- 1/4 tea spon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tea spoon ground cloves
- 1/4 tea spoon cardamom
- 2cm peeled and finely grated ginger
1) Squeeze the lemon onto the sliced pears so that they don't get brown while you are preaparing your caramel -> the butter with sugar will make bubbles at first when on the burner and then the caramel will start to appear, that's when you add in the pears which will cool the mixture a little and the caramel may get hard but don't worry, as you keep it on the burner, it will become the right temperature again and then you can boil it all for about 15 minutes. You won't need the excess caramel once you take the pears out and line the bottom of your baking pan with them.
2) Boil the beer with honey till incorporated well. Then set aside to cool.
3) Mix all the dry ingredients.
4) Beat the eggs with sugar and start adding the beer mixture. Then add the rest of the ingredients and pour onto your pears.
5) Bake for about 50 minutes at 170°C.
