Prepare the Caramel Layer: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until it dissolves into a smooth caramel. Pour the caramel into a greased cake pan and arrange the pear slices on top.
Make the Cake Batter: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the oil, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing well. Sift together the baking flour and baking powder, then fold into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Assemble and Bake: Pour the batter over the caramelized pears in the cake pan. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Invert onto a serving plate so the pears and caramel are on top. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Drizzle with extra caramel sauce for added sweetness.
Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea.
Top with whipped cream for a creamy contrast.
Cooking Tips
Use ripe but firm pears for the best texture and flavor.
Ensure the caramel is spread evenly in the pan to avoid sticking.
Don’t overmix the batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.
If you don’t have brown sugar, white sugar can be used as a substitute.
