PEAR AND GINGER CAKE WITH A MAPLE GLAZE FROM NEW ZEALAND

Pear and Ginger Cake With a Maple Glaze from New Zealand image

This recipe has been submitted for play in ZWT8 - Australia/New Zealand. This recipe was found at Wattie's - Food in a Minute website. This cake sounds wonderful, another recipe that I will be trying, but I will be using maple syrup instead of the flavored syrup, I think it will taste much better.

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

150 g butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar, soft
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup milk
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons ginger, ground
410 g pears, quartered, drained
2 teaspoons cornflour
1/2 cup maple syrup

Steps:

. Preheat oven to 180°C
Grease and line the base of a 22cm springform cake tin with baking paper.
Cream butter, brown sugar and Maple Syrup until light and fluffy.
Gradually add the beaten eggs a small amount at a time to avoid the mixture curdling.

Sift flour, baking powder and ground ginger into the creamed mixture, alternately with the milk, mixing carefully until combined.
Spoon mixture into prepared tin and place the drained pear on top of the cake, placing them cut side down onto the mixture.
Bake for 40-45 minutes until cooked.
Place cake on a cooling rack for 15 minutes, then remove from the cake tin.
Brush the warm cake with the glaze. Serve warm with custard, cream or ice cream.
To make the glaze mix the cornflour with 1 tablespoon of cold water to form a paste.
Place the maple syrup into a saucepan, stir in the cornflour over a medium heat until thickened and boiling. Remove from heat and allow to cool a little before brushing onto the cake.

Tips:

Mise en place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything.
Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, so it's worth the extra effort to grate it yourself.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

This maple ginger cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. The moist and fluffy cake is packed with flavor, thanks to the combination of maple syrup, ginger, and spices. The maple glaze adds a touch of sweetness and richness, making this cake irresistible.
