23p/100mlThe ‘squidge’ comes from clotted cream, which we’ve used instead of butter for a softer, richer cake. Conference pears and cinnamon make it all the more seasonal – you could use apples instead.
Please note that while we take every care to ensure the product and recipe information displayed on our website is correct, in the event that a product is unavailable, alternatives may be displayed and/or a substitution may be given. This may affect the nutrition and allergen information, therefore if you have any allergy or intolerance, please ensure you have reviewed the product label to ensure it is suitable for you to consume.
Preheat the oven to 170ºC, gas mark 3. Lightly grease and line a 20cm square cake tin with a strip of baking parchment. Peel and core the pears and cut into 2cm cubes, then toss with the lemon juice. Mix ¼ tsp cinnamon and the demerara sugar together for the topping and set aside.
In a large bowl, use electric beaters to whisk the eggs and caster sugar for 3-4 minutes until pale, light and airy. Slowly beat in the clotted cream and lemon zest until just combined. Fold in the flour, remaining 1½ tsp cinnamon and a pinch of salt until just combined. Stir in the milk to loosen.
Spoon ½ the cake mixture into the tin, spreading it evenly (it will be quite thick) and scatter over ½ the pear cubes. Spread the remaining cake mixture over the top and finish with the remaining pear cubes. Scatter over the cinnamon-sugar mixture and bake for 45-50 minutes until risen and a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool completely in the tin before dusting with cinnamon and serving with more clotted cream, if liked.
Demerara sugar
Scatter over pastries, crumbles and cookies for a satisfyingly crunchy finish.
