Carameled Asian Pear and Cream Cheese Pound Cake
- 1/2 Asian pear
- 50 grams Cream cheese
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 grams + 60 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
- 140 grams Cake flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- Peel the pear and cut into four wedges, then slice into 5 mm widths.
- Bring all the ingredients to room temperature.
- Put 50 g of the granulated sugar into a frying pan and turn on the heat.
- When the sugar melts, shake the pan to spread it evenly.
- When the sugar has completely melted and turns brown, keep an eye on it as you continue heating until it caramelizes to a dark brown, shaking the pan as it cooks.
- Once it caramelizes to a dark brown, add the chopped pear all at once and mix with a wooden spatula.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes to let the water content evaporate, then turn off the heat.
- Combine the cream cheese and butter in a bowl and mix until creamy.
- Add 60 g of granulated sugar and use a mixer to incorporate air into the batter.
- When the batter turns white, add the egg a little at a time and mix.
- Add the lemon juice and caramelized pears and mix well.
- Sift together the cake flour and baking powder and add to the batter.
- Fold in with a rubber spatula.
- Grease the bundt cake pan with butter (not listed) and dust with flour (not listed) and pour in the batter.
- Tap the sides of the pan to release any air pockets in the batter.
- Bake in an oven preheated to 170C for 40-45 minutes.
- When a toothpick or skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean, it is done!
- Remove from the pan and place on a cooling rack.
- Once cooled, cut and serve!
- It tastes even better the following day.
- Here's what it looks like inside!
- It's full of crispy pears.
- Cream cheese, caramel, and pears make a great combination.
