For the caramelised pears:

4 pears (or 5 or 6 if you want)-or 2 quinces (peeled and blanched for 10 minutes)
-
4-5 tablespoons dark sugar (or 8 teaspoons)
-
50=80g butter

A round oven deep sandwich tin
-
A mixing bowl
-
Teaspoons and tablespoons, a wooden spoon, a knife
-
An oven
-
Preheat the oven at 175 degree (Fan)
-
Line a 24 cm round cake dish with the pears, quartered and sliced.
-
Sprinkle 4-5 tablespoons of dark sugar on them, and about 40grams butter (salted is a plus but unsalted is fine too)
-
Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes.
-
Whilst the pears are baking make the batter:
-
In a bowl mix thoroughly without beating too hard: yoghurt, sugar, quince or apple butter or puree or any jam, beat in the 2 eggs.
-
Add the flour, the baking powder, cinnamon and salt
-
Mix thoroughly. Et voila. Batter is ready!
-
Take the pears out, wait 5-10 minutes for them to cool off, pour the batter on the pear and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes.
-
When a skewer or a knife comes out dry from the cake, it means it is ready.
-
Wait 5 minutes and turn upside down on a plate.
I find it even better a day later, if you can wait that long!!
