Peter Gordon's Olivado Upside Down Cake (Upside Down Pear and Polenta Cake)
You need:
- 4 ripe pears
- 380g Demerara sugar + 50g for sprinkling
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp natural vanilla extract
- 1 cup Olivado Extra Virgin Avocado Oil
- 100ml apple juice
- 150ml sweet white wine
- 300g flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 120g polenta
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a lose-ring cake tin with baking parchment. Sprinkle the base with the 50g Demerara sugar. Peel the pears, cut in half and remove core. Place them, cut side down, on the base of the tin. Beat the remaining sugar, eggs and vanilla for 2 minutes. Add the oil, juice and wine and beat in for 20 seconds. Sieve the flour, baking powder and polenta and mix in thoroughly. Pour this batter over the pears and bake for 30 minutes, then cover the tin with foil and bake until a skewer inserted in the cake comes out clean, about 30 minutes more. Leave to cool for 30 minutes in the tin, then remove the ring and invert the cake over a plate. This cake will keep really well for 4 days, and is best served with whipped cream.
