Caramelised Pear & Maple Upside-Down Cake

Recipe / Lakanto by Holly Nash, Accredited Practising Dietitian & Nutritionist A beautiful upside-down pear cake that pairs perfectly with maple syrup. A traditional upside-down cake recipe would usually require a lot of added sugar, but this version has the same great taste without the guilt.

Serves: 10–12

3 firm medium pears 50g butter

cup Lakanto Golden Sweetener

¼ cup Lakanto Maple Syrup

150g butter

1 cup Lakanto Golden Sweetener

3 eggs

11/3 self-raising flour

1 tsp baking powder

2 tsp ground ginger

To Serve

Cream

Lakanto Maple Syrup

Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan forced) and line a 22cm spring form pan with baking paper.

Peel and slice the pears.

Melt 50g of butter, 1/3 cup Lakanto Golden Sweetener and ¼ cup Lakanto Maple Syrup together in a small saucepan.

Once melted and combined, pour over the baking paper.

Cover the baking paper with the sliced pears in a circular pattern, slightly overlapping each other.

Beat the remaining butter and sweetener together until pale and creamy.

Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the combined flour, baking powder and ginger.

Gently spoon the cake batter over the pears. Bake for 45 mins, or until a skewer comes out clean.

Leave to rest for 10 mins, then invert onto a serving plate.

Pour over ¼ cup of Lakanto Maple Syrup and serve with cream.

PLANT-BASED PIES

Pies are a piece of gastronomic brilliance: a filling with a case and lid you can eat is food genius. The first pies date back to Egyptian times and there is a recipe for chicken pie that was carved into stone more than 4000 years ago. For millennia, however, the pie casing was mostly used to cook the filling, but for around 500 years or more we have been eating the pie crust too.
