Blueberry Pear Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Grease two 6-ounce custard cups. Mix pear and blueberries; divide between custard cups.
• Mix brown sugar, flour, oats and apple pie spice in small bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture is crumbly; sprinkle over fruit.
• Bake about 30 minutes or until topping is golden brown and pear is tender. Serve warm with cream.

Steps:

• For crust:
• Blend all purpose flour, sugar and salt in processor. Add chilled butter pieces and cut in using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 3 tablespoons ice water and process until moist clumps form, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate 30 minutes. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated. Let soften slightly at room temperature before rolling out.)
• Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 12-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Fold edges under, forming high-standing rim 3/4 inch above dish sides; crimp edges decoratively. Freeze crust 25 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake crust until light golden brown, about 30 minutes. Cool while preparing filling. Maintain oven temperature.
• For filling:
• Combine pear pieces, 3 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons orange juice and salt in large nonstick skillet. Cook over medium heat until pears are tender but still hold their shape, stirring often, about 6 minutes. Transfer pear mixture to large bowl; cool to room temperature. Add blueberries, flour and remaining 6 tablespoons sugar to pears; toss gently to blend.
• Transfer filling to cooled pie crust, mounding filling slightly in center. Sprinkle with Walnut-Streusel Topping. Bake pie until juices bubble thickly, fruit is tender and streusel topping is golden brown, about 1 hour 5 minutes. Cool pie on rack until lukewarm. Cut pie into wedges and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6.
• Lightly grease a deep 20cm (*in) cake tin and line it with baking parchment.
• Put the flour, baking powder, margarine, almonds, eggs, orange zest & juice and almond essence in a large bowl and beat them together thoroughly.
• Fold the pears and blueberries into the mixture. Spoon it into the prepared cake tin and sprinkle with the demarara sugar. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until firm to the touch.
• Cool the cake in the tin on a wire rack. Stored in an airtight container, it will keep for up to a week.

Steps:

• Divide the fruit between two 6-oz. ramekins or custard cups coated with cooking spray. In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, oats and cinnamon; cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over fruit. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until topping is golden brown. Serve warm.
