    Gluten-Free Pear Cake with Chai Spice

    Published Oct 14, 2013

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    a slice of delicious(Gluten-Free) Chai-Spiced Pear Skillet Cake

    I have to agree with Eddie Izzard: pears are sneaky little buggers that seem to say "No, don't ripen yet...wait til he goes out of the room...ripen now now now!" Most of the time I want to tell them to F off, too.

    sliced pears

    But I couldn't bring myself to use foul language on the beautiful pears left to us by our friends who cat-sat for us last week while we took a road trip to Portland. Karisa runs the intern program at Delphi, an estate with acres of educational farmland in the Santa Cruz Mountains. (She also happens to be the nicest person in the world). Delphi must be covered in orchards, based on the abundance of fruit that Karisa always seems to possess. Fall is no exception; Karisa left us 5 of the most beautiful pears I've ever seen. You know those fancy pears that people send to fancy people for the holidays? These pears looked like those.

    So rather than telling the pears to shove it as they slowly ripened, I gave them each a little "squeezy squeezy" throughout the day until they had the slightest hint of give. Pears ripen from the inside out, so if you wait for them to give the signals of other (non-sneaky, non-buggery) fruit, you'll open them up to find them brown and rotty on the inside (and laughing at you).

    Yet pears are high-maintenance even for baking. They're low in acid, with a mild flavor that can taste bland when baked. For this reason, they're often used in conjunction with other, more assertive flavors – ginger, cinnamon, and cardamom, for instance.

    pears mixed into cake mix

    I baked my pretty pears into a cake flavored with the dominant flavors of my favorite Masala chai (which is fun to make from scratch). I made the cake gluten-free by using a blend of sweet rice, oat, millet, and buckwheat flours based on this nectarine rosemary upside-down cake that my friend Molly and I came up with last month.

    cake mix in bowl

    I usually bake smaller batches when I'm testing recipes so as not to waste ingredients on inedible experiments, but I thought I could nail my new recipe on the first try. So I baked up a large, ten-inch round cake in my skillet.

    cake mix

    I somehow decided it was a good idea to photograph the mixer stirring the batter...for, like, five minutes. I would never do this with a wheat-based cake batter since I know how glutens react when you work them too much – they turn into bread. I thought that this wouldn't be a problem with a gluten-free batter, but I was wrong. I did not nail the recipe. Cake #1 baked up into a squat sort of giant hockey puck that was just as tender as something you'd want to hit with a stick into a large net, and was shockingly bland, to boot.

    pear topping

    Thankfully, I still had pears left, so I baked them into cake #2. This one had a more delicate texture and big flavor thanks to more spices and salt, as well as a squeeze of lemon juice added to the pears to give them a bit more oomph.

    skillet cake

    I was adding tapioca flour and xanthan gum to the cakes to make them
    sturdier, but I was finding them lacking in the delicate sort of crumb
    that every cake should have. So for cake #3, I left them out. This cake had a beautiful melt-in-your mouth texture bursting with chai spices and studded with fat chunks of tender pears. Once I tasted a piece warm from the oven, waiting to eat this cake until after I had photographed it was nothing short of torturous.

    I start by making a spiced sugar, some of which gets set aside for sprinkling over the cake batter and pears; the rest gets creamed into softened butter until light and fluffy. The sugary top gives the cake a classic coffeecake-like crust on top that plays off the soft fruit and tender crumb.

    Buckwheat flour adds an undertone of its robust flavor, and no one will ever guess that the cake is gluten-free. It has the taste and mouthfeel of a cake made with whole wheat and all-purpose flours. I leave the skin on the pears, which softens up enough to go unnoticed in the finished cake.

    I like this cake at room temperature with a spot of crème fraîche and tea, but it can become dessert when served warm with a scoop of dreamy vanilla ice cream. I can guarantee that nobody, not even Eddie Izzard, would ever tell it to fuck off.

    You will love this delicately spiced pear cake!
    Alanna Taylor-Tobin
    Prep Time: 30 minutes
    Cook Time: 45 minutes
    Total: 1 hour 15 minutes
    Servings: 8 to 10 servings (makes one 9-10" cake).

    Ingredients

    The spiced sugar:

    • 3/4 cup organic cane sugar (5 3/4 ounces)
    • 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cardamom
    • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
    • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon

    The cake:

    • 1 stick unsalted butter, plus 2 teaspoons for greasing the pan, at room temperature (8 tablespoons/4 ounces)
    • spiced sugar from above (see instructions)
    • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
    • 3/4 cup sweet white rice flour (4 ounces)
    • 1/4 cup millet flour (1 1/4 ounces)
    • 1/4 cup oat flour (1 ounce)
    • 1/4 cup buckwheat flour (1 ounce)
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
    • 1/3 cup crème fraîche (or sour cream) (2 1/2 ounces)
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 1 1/4 pounds ripe but firm pears (about 3 medium)
    • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

    Instructions

    Make the cake:

    • Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 350ºButter a 10" oven-proof skillet with the 2 teaspoons of softened butter.
    • In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, cardamom, ginger, and cinnamon. Set aside 2 tablespoons to top the cake; add the rest to the butter. Cream together the butter and spiced sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice, about 3 minutes.
    • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
    • In a medium bowl, sift together the rice, millet, oat, and buckwheat flours, baking powder, and salt. Add half of this mixture to the butter, stir on low until just combined. Add the crème fraîche and vanilla, stir on low until just combined, then add the remaining flour mixture, stirring on low until just combined.
    • Remove the bowl from the mixer, and give it a gentle stir with a rubber spatula, scraping the bottom and sides to make sure the batter is homogenous. It will be thick and spongy from the baking powder reacting with the acids in the crème fraîche.
    • Cut the pears off of their cores. Cut some of the pear pieces into enough 1/2" cubes to equal 1 cup, and slice the rest into 1/2" thick (at the widest parwedges. Drizzle the lemon juice over the wedges; this keeps them from oxidizing, and gives them a little punch. Gently fold the pear chunks into the batter, then spread the batter evenly into the greased skillet.
    • Fan out the pear slices over the top of the cake with the fatter part facing out. Press them into the batter a little bit; I like to place them at a diagonal so that some cake batter peaks through the fruit. Sprinkle the reserved 2 tablespoons of spiced sugar evenly over the top.
    • Bake the cake until the top is golden and set, the sides are pulling away from the pan, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 45-55 minutes. Since the cake is still cooking from residual heat, let it cool for at least an hour before cutting it into wedges and devouring it with your afternoon (or, ahem, breakfast) tea.
    • Leftovers keep well at room temperature for a day or two; refrigerate the rest after that.

    Notes

    Organic cane sugar is slightly chunkier than the conventional, fully-refined stuff, and it gives the top of the cake a slightly crunchy crust that I find addictive.
    If your pears are very ripe and sweet, you may want to reduce the sugar by 2 tablespoons.
    You can make your own crème fraîche by stirring together 1 cup heavy cream and 1 tablespoon buttermilk. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 24 hours, stirring once or twice.
    Be sure to use sweet white rice flour here (such as Mochiko brand) which is made from sticky rice and helps the cake hold together. If you only have regular rice flour, you may want to try adding 1/4-1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum along with the flours. If you or your guests have severe gluten allergies, be sure to use ingredients that are certified gluten-free (particularly the oat flour).
    I like baking this in my 10" round cast iron skillet, but I think it would fit in a 9" springform pan with 2" high sides, as well.
    All ounce measurements here are by weight.
    Nutritional values are based on one of eight servings.

        Pesky boys and their picky eating habits! You could certainly give this a try with apples, but I'm not sure that they'll soften up as much as the pears. I would use a softer variety of apple (maybe pink ladies?) rather than firmer baking apples (like Granny Smith). You could also try using the GF chai-spiced batter here, but the apple topping from this upside-down cake: https://bojongourmet.com/2010/10/uber-apple-upside-down-cake.html

        Please let me know how it goes!

      Beautiful cake Alanna! I love the way the pears sink in and become ONE with the batter. I also love how you paired the pears with chai spices because they need the extra help in the flavor department. And you know what else I love? How you always explain your rationale for why you made the decisions you did. It really emphasizes how methodical cooks have to be.

      Also, in my experience, pears are the ultimate breeders of fruit flies. UGH. But they're still worth it. :)

      Beautiful Cake Alanna : ) Pear + Chai = a winner. I agree that pears are tricky-ish. I found baking them, cooling, then leaving in the oven overnight to be a cool way to concentrate their flavor a bit, at least to throw into scones!

        Thanks, Meredith. I'll definitely try your roasting method - that's brilliant. I see a lot of recipes that call for poaching the pears first, which always seems kind of over the top. Roasted pear scones sound amazing!

      I made your cookbook version of this last night (which looks, at quick glance, pretty similar, except without the buckwheat flour), and it is so heavenly.

      After popping it in the oven, I realized I had forgotten to add creme fraiche, which I had made specifically for the cake - but it ended up not mattering. It is amazing either way.

      A little sweet for my taste, but I added a local whole milk plain yogurt to the top and then it's basically a healthy breakfast, right? :)

      Thank you for another great recipe! I think I'll make it again for Thanksgiving.

        I'm so glad the recipe worked out even without the creme fraiche and that you liked it! You could absolutely decrease the sugar to your taste next time, though I think the creme fraiche might offset the sweetness a little with its tanginess. I'm actually working on an apple skillet cake recipe at the moment - it will be up in a week or two! :)

    New recipe on TBG today: 🍋 GF lemon poppy seed New recipe on TBG today: 🍋 GF lemon poppy seed cake. It's moist, lofty, tender, and so easy to make.

This is a smol sheet cake (8x8) that you can whip up in under an hour with just one bowl and a whisk. Swipe to see how easy it is to make!

I especially love making this cake with Meyer lemons - so obsessed with their sunny, floral flavor! It pairs beautifully with nutty poppy seeds, which add a bit of crunch and old-world flavor.

Made with some whole grain flours, no gums, and with DF and refined sugar-free options too.

    Sunny GF #lemontart vibes for a dark Friday! 🌝🍋

This is our 🤷‍♀️ day of rain and clouds here in NorCal and I'm definitely craving brightness in all forms, including and especially citrus! 

You can make this golden-hued tart with regular lemons, but I especially love the floral taste of Meyers if you have access to them. 

The bright and tangy lemon curd gets baked in my tender, buttery almond flour tart crust, a reader favorite since I shared it in my cookbook back in 2016. 

Top it with whipped creme fraiche and bee pollen for a dessert that looks like it came from a fancy-pants bakery but is actually super easy to make yourself. 

Stay dry out there, friends!

    GF DF Lemon Almond Olive Oil Cake ✨ Gluten and GF DF Lemon Almond Olive Oil Cake ✨

Gluten and dairy-laden cakes *wish* they could be as moist and tender as this cake, which gets loads of flavor from fruity olive oil and a meltingly tender crumb from nubby almond flour. 

Nibble slices plain with a cup of tea, or dress up wedges with sugared strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream or coconut cream. 

The cake can be made up to a few days ahead; it just gets better and better as it sits. Feel free to try this cake with other citrus zest and juice, such as Meyer lemon, tangerine, or blood orange.
