Cakes and biscuits are a highly recommended pastime, as well as delicious desserts and snacks. Especially now in the summer months, when you have to look for activities to do with the children. So here we teach you how to make pear tart, a fun way for children to eat fruit and a simple recipe that they will love to prepare.

Pear tart recipe

Ingredients:

• 150 g of flour
• 80g sugar
• 70g butter
• 3 or 4 pears
• 2 eggs
• 1 envelope of Royal type yeast
• 1 glass of milk
• pinch of salt
• 1 tablespoon icing sugar

Utensils:

• 1 large bowl
• 1 mold 20 cm in diameter
• Electric (or manual) rods

preparation:

• Preheat the oven from below to 180 ºC.

• Put the eggs in a bowl and beat them together with the sugar, until obtaining a foamy and homogeneous mixture.
• Little by little add the flour mixed with the yeast and a pinch of salt,
• while stirring with enveloping movements.
• Pour the milk together with the butter softened at room temperature and continue mixing,  until a smooth and creamy compound is formed.
• Peel the pears and cut them into slices, as we would cut some potatoes to make an omelette.
• Add the pears to the mixture being careful not to break them.
• Pour the mixture into a previously buttered baking dish and bake at 180ºC for 35-40 minutes. Put the oven to medium cooking, on top so that the cake is browned.
• Let cool on a wire rack before unmolding it so it doesn’t fall apart.

• Difficulty: medium
• Preparation time: 45 minutes + 40 minutes of cooking.
• If you want to add a different touch, you can add a pinch of cinnamon, which although it may not seem like it, combines well with the pear.

• If it is taken a little warm, the taste of the pear is more enjoyed and you can add a little cold liquid cream, which contrasts with the taste of the cake and makes it a truly delicious dessert.
• Pears must be used ripe, or else the dish will be hard and dry. The best varieties of pear for this dish are the red and the conference pear.

• 1 measure and a half of sugar yogurt
• 4 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 creamy pear yogurts
• 4 large eggs
• 4 ripe pears
• Peach jam

Utensils:

• 1 bowl
• Electric mixer
• 1 round sponge cake 24 cm

preparation:

• Preheat the oven to 180ºC (without air).

• In a bowl, pour the yogurts, sugar and eggs. Mix well.
• Wash and peel 3 pears, remove the hearts and cut them into small pieces. Add them to the bowl.
• Add the tablespoons of cornstarch
• Blend everything with the mixer until the pear pieces disappear and there is a fairly liquid mass.
• Once crushed, pour the dough into the mold previously greased with butter.
• Peel and slice the remaining pear and place it in a circle on the dough, making sure it does not sink.
• Bake the cake for about 50 to 60 minutes. Prick with a toothpick to see if it is cooked. If the toothpick comes out clean, our pear cake will already be cooked.
• Let cool before unmolding.
• Once cool, brush with peach jam on top. It can be left in the fridge for 2 hours to make it cooler.

• This same recipe can be used with other fruits, such as apple, strawberries or even peach, although all of them must be ripe for the dessert to be soft and juicy.

Finally, we advise you to prepare this delicious pear cake with your children. Cooking with them is a good strategy to arouse their interest in some fruits or vegetables that they usually reject at first glance. Invite them to get involved, you won’t regret it!
