Spiced pear, almond & buttermilk skillet cake

Servings: 4-6

Ingredients

1 box NOMU MiniMakes Spiced Cake Batter Mix
2 large eggs
1/4 cup (60ml) oil
1/4 cup (60ml) buttermilk
Zest of 1/2 orange
1/2 cup almond flour
2 tsp NOMU Sweet Rub (or 1 1/2 tsp castor sugar mixed with 1/2 tsp cinnamon)
1 large pear
Handful flaked almonds

To serve:
Vanilla ice cream or double thick cream
Honey, to drizzle

Directions

Preheat the oven to 170°C and generously butter an 18cm skillet pan.

Whisk the eggs until foamy. Add the oil, buttermilk and orange zest and whisk until well combined. Add the cake mix and almond flour and gently fold it in to form a smooth batter.

Spread the batter evenly in the prepared skillet and sprinkle over the Sweet Rub or cinnamon-sugar mixture. Cut the pear in half, remove the core and thinly slice lengthways. Fan the slices and arrange on top of the cake batter. Sprinkle over the flaked almonds to finish.

Bake the skillet cake for about 30-35 minutes or until just cooked through and the edges pull away from the sides of the pan. A few sticky crumbs may still cling to a skewer when poked into the middle of the cake.

Allow to cool slightly before serving with ice cream and a generous drizzle of honey.

Tip: If your cake is browning too quickly during baking, place a large piece of tin foil on top to prevent it from over-caramelising.
