Ingredients
- 7-inch cake form
- 7 Medium-sized pears (preferable Williams pear, but others will suffice); 4 for decoration, 3 goes into the cake
- 200 ml Cherry flavored light beer
- 200 gr Plain white chocolate
- 2 tbsp Lavender or a few drops of lavender extract
- 12 oz Cream cheese (we suggest mascarpone)
- 150 gr Brown sugar
- 150 gr Heavy cream whipped
- 2 tbsp Orange zest
- A pinch of orange peels
- ½ tbsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp Butter for the cake form
- 200 gr Cinni-Minnis or any plain cinnamon cereal
- 180 gr Butter for the crust
Instructions
- Grease the cake form with butter and hint it evenly with flour to make sure your cake won’t stick to it.
- First, make the crust by melting the butter, and in a shredder combine it with the cinnamon cereal. Spread it evenly into the cake form and bake in the preheated oven at 325 degrees for 20 mins.
- Start cutting the pears. Slice 4 of them into long quarters after removing the seeds and stems. On the stovetop, pour the cherry beer into the saucepan and on low heat, poach the pears face down with the lid on. Cook them for 20 minutes.
- Cut the remaining 3 pairs into uniformly small cubes after peeling and removing the stems and seeds. On the stovetop, cook them with 100ml of water, 150gr brown sugar, and the lavender on medium heat for 20 minutes.
- In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, melted white chocolate, the whipped heavy cream, orange zest and peels, vanilla extract, and finally, the sugary lavender cooked pear cubes. Mix them well.
- Pour your cake mix over the crust and place your pear quarters on top to mark the slices. Place it in the preheated oven and bake it at 325 degrees for 50 minutes. Serve it chilled.
