Ingredients:
100 grams / 1/2 cup superfine/caster sugar

1/4 teaspoon sea or kosher salt
160 grams / 1 cup plain flour
8 grams / 2 teaspoons baking powder
100 milliliters / 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon milk
3 tablespoons neutral oil (sunflower, avocado or canola)
2 large pears, peeled, cored and finely sliced
80 grams / 2.8 ounces butter, melted
38 grams / 3 tablespoons superfine/caster sugar

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F and greaseproof a cake tin.
Place the sugar, 2 eggs and pinch of salt in a bowl and whisk until combined.
Add the flour, baking powder, milk and oil and whisk until it is a smooth batter.
Pour half the batter into the base of your baking tin and lay your sliced pears on top around the baking tin, layering as necessary.
Pour the remaining batter over the top and tap gently onto your bench to bring the bubbles to the surface.
Place in the oven to bake for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk the remaining egg and 3 tablespoons sugar until combined and slightly lighter in color. Carefully whisk the melted butter into the egg to combine smoothly.
Remove the cake from the oven and pour the butter mixture on top, returning to the oven for a further 20 minutes or until golden all over.
Remove and allow to cool before removing from the tin.
Sprinkle a little confectioner’s sugar over the top, slice and serve.
