Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter unsalted and chilled
  • 1 egg large
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3/4 cups Belgian pearl sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a cake pan with a parchment circle and spray with flour baking spray.
  • Cut pears into halves and carefully scoop out the cores with the back of a small spoon. Remove stem. Cut the pears diagonally into 1/4 inch thick slices. Set aside.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, and salt into a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set Aside.
  • In a medium bowl, add the butter and sugar and mix at medium speed until fluffy. Mix in the egg and vanilla.
  • Carefully add the flour and milk. On low speed mix until just combined.
  • Pour the Sweet Pear Cake batter into the prepared pan and gently spread to the edges.
  • Starting at the edge of the pan, arrange the pear slices in a circle. Be careful not to press them into the batter. Complete with an inner circle barely overlapping the outer sweet pear slices.
  • Have fun sprinkling on the Belgian Pearl Sugar.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until a knife comes out clean from the cake.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Carefully flip onto a cake plate. Add another sprinkle of Belgian pearl sugar.
