How to resolve AdBlock issue? Fall Dessert Recipe: Gingerbread Pear Loaf Cake
20 MIN
Total Time
1 HR 20 MIN
Yield
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups Silvana's Kitchen Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
Preheat the oven to 350° and butter a 9-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan. In a large bowl, whisk the flour with the baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk the cup of sugar with the butter, buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Using a wooden spoon, mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, then fold in the pears and ginger.
Step 3
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with sugar and crystallized ginger and bake in the center of the oven for about 1 hour until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean; loosely cover the top with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning.
Step 4
Transfer the cake to a wire rack and let cool completely in the pan. Invert the cake onto a plate and invert again. Slice the cake and serve.
Make Ahead
The cake can be wrapped in foil and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
