What better way to celebrate your first ever pot of ‘homemade’ honey than to use it in a delicious, decadent cake?
Pinenut, pear and honey cake
Ingredients
Pears – 200g/7oz. or two small ones.
Honey – 250g/9 oz.
Butter 210g/7.4oz
Brown sugar – 100g/3.5 oz.
Pine nuts – 45g/1.6 oz.
Self raising flour – 175g/6.2 oz.
Ground Almonds – 100g/3.5 oz.
Baking powder – 1 tsp.
Eggs – 3 beaten
Preheat oven to 180oC/Gas 4/360oF. Grease a round cake or bundt tin and line with baking paper. Peel and cut the pear up into small pieces. Melt together the honey, butter and sugar. Boil for one minute, then remove from the heat. Cool until just warm.
Dry fry the pine nuts till they have a bit of colour. Sift the flour, ground almonds and baking powder into a bowl, mix a bit and then add the honey mixture, the pear and the eggs. Mix this well and then pour into the cake tin, pop in the oven and bake for 35 minutes, until the top springs back when pressed. Leave for 10 minutes and then turn out.
