PEAR AND MASCARPONE CAKE RECIPE
Pears are one of the few fruits my son eats and even though he is almost an adult, as a doting mother and a bit of a meddler, I like to try new recipes for him and for myself too, as I don’t turn away from almost any dessert.
Today, I found a super soft pear and mascarpone cake recipe in a little cooking magazine, and here we are ready to test and taste it with great excitement… Shall we start cooking, will you join me??
The pear and mascarpone cake is delicious, keeps well for 2/3 days, and is even more indulgent if served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a soft custard.

Sift the flour with the potato starch and baking powder.
With a spatula and upward movements, add the powders to the previously made cream in batches.
Butter and flour the cake pan (or line it with parchment paper) and pour in the pear and mascarpone cake mixture.
Level the surface well and arrange the peeled and cored pear slices radially on top.
Place the pan in a preheated oven at 340°F for about 45/50 minutes or according to your oven’s characteristics.
