Ingredients
- 1 Cup graham flour
- 1 Cup all-purpose flour
- 1 Teaspoon (tsp) baking powder
- 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) baking soda
- 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) ground cinnamon
- 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) ground ginger
- 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
- 0.75 Cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 Cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
- 0.5 Cup buttermilk
- 2 Whole ripe pears, peeled
- 2 Whole ripe pears, sliced
- 0.5 Cup hazelnuts, chopped
Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the graham flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the melted butter and brown sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Arrange the pear slices in a circular pattern on the bottom of the prepared cake pan. Pour the batter over the pears, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the chopped hazelnuts over the top of the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert it onto a serving plate. Remove the parchment paper and let it cool completely before serving.
