Almond and Nashi Cakes

Dust with icing sugar if you like but the are just as nice served as is. Makes 4-6, depending on size

Ingredients:

100 grams Almond Meal
50 grams Plain Flour
50 grams Caster Sugar
40 grams Soft Brown Sugar
100 grams melted butter, cooled
2 eggs
1 teaspoon ground Cinnamon

Method:

Nashi, cored, peeled and quartered, then sliced

Place the almond meal, plain flour, caster sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and eggs into the bowl of a mixer and beat for about 10 seconds before drizzling in the cooled, melted butter. Continue beating until a smooth batter forms.

Line your muffin tin with cases – depending on the size you’ll get between 4 and 6 cakes. Pour the batter evenly into the cases – no more than 3/4’s full.

Take the slices of nashi and press them vertically into the batter. Don’t force them in too far as the batter will rise and swap them.

Place in a preheated 170°Coven and bake until golden and firm – this should take about 20 minutes, but once again this will depend on the cake size.
