After a month long gap I am back in the Blogging Marathon. This is the Blogging Marathon #34 and I will be doing all the four weeks. For the first week, it is cooking with fruits. I chose Pear as the fruit and I am posting the very first recipe made with pear. As mentioned in my earlier post, I celebrated my birthday before two days. And for that I made this soft delicious cake with a nice caramel soaked pear topping. It has been my dream to try out upside down cake and it came true with this cake. Upside down cake is one in which the fruit layer is arranged at the bottom of the cake tin and the batter is poured on top. After baking the cake is flipped up side down and the fruits will become the topping. Caramel is added at the fruit layer and it gives a nice finish to the cake. I saw so many pear upside down cake recipes but finally went with my usual cake recipe. This recipe is best when done in a 9″ or 10″ pan. As I didn’t have one I made it in an 8″ pan and I was so nervous while it was in oven. But due to luck, the batter didn’t over flow and it saved my day. The cake turned out so soft, moist and delicious. The caramel soaked pears were so soft and just melted in the mouth. We all loved the cake so much and Sruti was double happy as I made this for my birthday.

Arrange pear like this in a buttered tin.
Mix sugar and water and let it boil.
When the colour is golden, remove from heat and add butter.
Whisk until incorporated.
Pour it evenly on the pear.
Prepare batter.
Pour it on the caramel. Mine was an 8″ tin so it the batter filled the tin. Don’t do this. Use a 9″ or 10″ tin to avoid overflowing of batter.
Bake until done.
After cooling for 30 minutes, flip it onto the serving plate.
Slice it up, serve and Enjoy!! Here is my virtual birthday treat to all my readers…

Such a lovely cake! never made upside down cakes before…looks very tempting.
Fan of your recipes!!! Can u pl specify the measure of condensed milk in ml..
Hi gayathri,the cake looks yummy!!will be trying it today.
I have a small doubt.can this cake have a double pear layer.after the first layer of pear and the batter can another layer of pear and batter be done?does that change the baking time ?pls do let me know.
Also,I have a combi Samsung microwave.if I use it in the microwave mode what settings do I keep.if used in the convection mode what are the settings?
Thanks a lot..waiting for your reply
I don’t think you can do two layers in this cake. The pears would be too heavy and will sink to the bottom..
Thanks a lot!request you to clarify on the microwave settings pls…
Sorry this has to be baked in either OTG or convection oven.
I have a convection option in my oven.. Can I bake this cake in convection mode at 200deg c for 30-35 minutes
