Caramel Pear Cake

1 cup of sugar

1/3 cup water

3 firm pears

100g butter

2 large eggs

1/3 cup icing sugar

½ teaspoon vanilla essence

1 cup self raising flour

Butter a 23 cm cake tin. Preheat oven to 180degrees C. Put sugar and water in a saucepan and warm gently so that sugar dissolves. Turn up heat and cook until caramel colour – light brown rather than gold. Pour into tin, swirl around so that the base is coated. Peel & quarter pears, arrange pears on top of caramel. Melt butter, leave to cool until tepid.

Beat egg with sugar and vanilla until frothy. Add melted butter.

Sift flour over top and stir in well to become a soft batter. Carefully dab little bits of this over the top of the pears so as not to disturb them. It will spreads as cake cooks.

Bake for 30 minutes or til set in centre. As soon as it comes out of the over turn onto a plate as caramel will start to stick.
