Soft Cake With Pears And Eau De Vie Recipes

Steps:

• Peel and slice pears thin. Mix sliced pears with white sugar, brown sugar, and nuts and let sit for one hour. After sitting puree pear mixture in a blender.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 13x9 inch pan.
• By hand stir in until just blended; the flour, salt, and baking soda. Add dry ingredients to pear mixture and add oil, vanilla and eggs. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Put the pears in a bowl with poire (pear) William eau de vie and sugar. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, beat the eggs with sugar for 2 - 3 minutes. Add flour, dry yeast, ground hazelnuts powder and a pinch of salt. Mix and combine.
• Add the cream, mix well to combine the ingredients.
• Drain the pears but keep the eau de vie and stir it into the cake dough.
• Pour the dough into the round buttered 25 cm springform. Arrange the pear quarters by pressing them slightly into the dough. Bake the cake in the oven at 180°C for about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Run a 9 x 12-inch rimmed baking sheet under cold water and shake off the excess. Line the damp pan neatly with plastic wrap. (The water will help the plastic stick to the pan.)
• Put the water in a small bowl and sprinkle with the gelatin. Let sit for at least 1 minute. Microwave for 30 seconds or heat gently in a saucepan until melted.
• Combine the simple syrup and eau-de-vie in a large measuring cup. Add the gelatin and whisk for about 45 seconds. Whisk in the zest.
• Pour into the baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set. To serve, turn out onto a cutting board and cut into small squares. Or use a whisk to break the gelée up into irregular shapes.
