This is a nice, simple way to make a lovely pudding, as done by Dan Redfern in the Liverpool leg of the third series of Come Dine With Me.

Serves 5

Ingredients

  • 1 large tin of pear halves in syrup (around 800g including syrup)
  • 500g of self raising flour
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 200g sugar
  • 200ml of sunflower oil
  • 500ml of apple juice
  • 1 tsp of natural vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp of brown sugar for sprinkling

Method: How to make pear and apple upside down cake

1. Oil a cake tin and preheat oven to 180°c.

2. Arrange the pears, cut side down on the base of tin (in a star pattern is very pretty). Combine the dry ingredients (excluding the brown sugar) in a bowl then add the wet ingredients (including the syrup from the pears) and mix well.

3. Pour over the pears and bake in the oven for about 45 minutes or until nearly cooked through. Remove from tin by placing an oven-proof plate over the tin and turning upside down so you have the pears on top.

4. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes.
