Pear Upside-Down Graham Cake image

I had some freshly picked pears and graham flour to use up and I combined them into this not-too-sweet, whole grain cake. The graham flour adds really nice nutty, honeyed notes, but if you can't find it, you can use whole wheat flour.

Time 1h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
¼ cup dark brown sugar
3 pears - peeled, cored, and sliced
1 ½ cups graham flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup packed dark brown sugar
¼ cup grapeseed oil
2 tablespoons honey
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pan with 2-inch sides and line the bottom with a round of parchment paper.
  • Add butter pieces to the pan. Place in the preheating oven until melted. Sprinkle brown sugar on top. Arrange sliced pears in a circular pattern over the butter and brown sugar. Set aside.
  • Whisk graham flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, salt, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl.
  • Combine butter, brown sugar, oil, and honey in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add eggs and vanilla extract; beat for 1 minute. Add flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with milk; beat briefly after each addition.
  • Pour batter carefully over the pears. Smooth the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool cake for 10 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack and peel off parchment paper. Allow to cool completely.
