This is a rich chai spiced pear cake that is perfect to bake during autumn. This cake is crunchy on the edges but so soft, tender and juicy on the inside. It is topped with a delicious oat crumble that pairs so well with the tender cake. It is both gluten and sugar free. This is the perfect fall cake to make that will be appreciated by everyone. It is naturally sweetened with pear purée and a little bit of stevia to keep it healthy and sugar free.
I think that pears are underestimated when baking. They bring a delicious sweetness and tenderness to the baked goods. As a result this cake is crunchy on the edges but soft, moist and tender on the inside. To make it healthy and naturally sweetened I used pear pure and just a little stevia sugar. This cake has a rich yet tender taste. It’s spiced with cinnamon, cardamom, all spice, nutmeg, ginger and cloves. The rich spices makes such a divine combination with the sweet and tender pears. Due to the pear purée this cakes keeps moist for several days without getting dry.
