PEAR TART WITH TOFFEE SHARDS
I love to cook, but I'm not a great 'baker' - this very easy tart is the exception. It's really easy and looks and tastes divine. The recipe is courtesy of the Age newspaper, Epicure section. A note - be careful when removing the cake as the toffee may still be hot. This might be more about my cake tin, but to prevent any toffee leakage - I've found it best to bake this with the cake tin sitting inside another, larger foil-lined baking tin.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 170 C fanforced (190 conventional).
- Grease a 20 cm round cake tin with removable base. Line the base with baking paper.
- Place sugar and water in a small saucepan and warm gently until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat slightly and continue to cook until the liquid turns a light amber/caramel colour.
- Pour the sugar liquid into the cake tin and swirl around the base.
- Place the peeled and quartered pears on the cake tin base, with points touching in the centre to form a flower pattern.
- Beat together the eggs, brown sugar, vanilla essence and zests. Add the melted butter to the mixture.
- Mix the flour into the batter mixture, and then place spoonfuls of the mixture over the pears, aiming to completely cover the pears, but not disturbing their positioning.
- Bake in the oven for 30 -40 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted in the centre.
- Remove from the oven and carfeully invert onto a plate when still warm. You may that the toffee runs a little or sticks to the paper base. Pull the toffee off and place as shards on the cake surface.
