CARAMEL PEAR PUDDING CAKE

This is the most delicious dessert, and easy to put together, a great ending to any meal. This can also be made with apples, but use a firm apple such as Granny Smith for this recipe. I usually stick this in the oven, and bake it as we are having dinner, and serve it with ice cream as a topping...so yummy!

  • To make sure the pears are evenly coated in caramel, toss them in the caramel sauce before adding them to the cake batter.
  • If you don't have a 9-inch springform pan, you can use a 9-inch round cake pan. Just be sure to grease and flour the pan before adding the batter.
