Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Grease and line the cake tin with baking paper. • Finely chop pear. Zest lemon. Measure 200ml of vegetable oil. • In a medium heatproof bowl, melt the butter in a microwave. Add flaked almonds and classic oat mix (see ingredients) and stir to combine.
• In a large bowl, place the measured vegetable oil, the eggs, vanilla-flavoured syrup, the brown sugar and lemon zest. Beat with electric beaters until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. • Using a wooden spoon, fold in sweet golden spice blend and basic sponge mix until just combined. Add pear and gently fold until just combined.
• Pour cake batter into the lined cake tin, then evenly sprinkle crumble mix over the top. • Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until firm to touch and a skewer inserted comes out clean. • Set aside to cool completely in the tin.
• Transfer spiced pear crumble cake to a plate or serving board. Drizzle caramel sauce over cake. Serve with vanilla custard. Enjoy!
