Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 Tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted plus more for pan
1 1/4 c flour, spooned and leveled
1/2 c yellow cornmeal
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp fine salt
1 1/4 c sugar
1/2 c buttermilk
2 eggs whisked
2 ripe pears, cut into 8 wedges each
6 large sprigs rosemary

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350. Butter a 9 in. springform pan
  • 2. Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt and 1 cup of the sugar in a large bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and melted butter in a medium bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk to combine. Fold in the pears.
  • 3. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. ?Bake until a toothpick inserted in the ceanter comes out clean, 45-55 minutes. Cool in the pan for 15 min.; transfer to a wire rack.
  • 4. Meanwhile, heat the rosemary, the remaining 1/3 c. sugar, and 1/4 c. water in a sm. pot over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the sugar is melted. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit, stirring occasionally for 30 min. and up to 4 hrs. Discard the rosemary sprigs.
  • 5. While the cake is still warm, brush the top and side with the rosemary syrup.
  • 6. Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream, if desired.
  • 7. TIP: Springform pans are slightly deeper than cake pans, giving this cake a heft that's worthy of a holiday meal. If you don't have a springform pan, butter and flour a 9 inch round cake pan and bake on a baking sheet (to catch any overflow).

The cake was delicious! The cornmeal gave it a nice texture and the pears were a great addition. The rosemary syrup was a bit too strong for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake turned out dry and crumbly. The flavors were good, but the texture was just off. I think I might have overcooked it.

This cake was absolutely divine! The combination of pears, cornmeal, and rosemary syrup was genius. It had a beautiful golden-brown crust and a moist, tender crumb. The rosemary syrup added a lovely herbal note that perfectly complemented the sweetne
