In todays weekly shop we bought some lovely seasonal quince and pears, and im trying to decide what would be best to create using them. Cinnamon holds a special place in my heart, i think its because the smell of cinnamon takes me back to family christmas back in the UK. Its smell is so warming and comforting and is a must in all my baking.
So I am going to poach the qunice and pears till soft and slice them, fold them through a cinnamon spiced cake batter and bake, I will then reduce the poaching liquid and poor over the sponge whilst its warm so it soaks up all the sweet liquor. Delicous! I will let you know how I get on and will post the recipe and photo ...
So here we are pear, quince, cinnamon and oat cake, yum yum!
5 medium free range eggs
300g unsalted butter
300g raw sugar
1 cup oats
50g plain flour
2 tea spoons baking powder
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teapoon mixed spice
1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate
All combined and baked at 160 degrees centigrade for 40 mins, beautiful hot or cold! Yummy with custard! A little bit naughty, but o so good!
