TWD/DAC: Pears, Nuts and Rye, Oh My

 


January's cake from Dorie's Anytime Cakes features winter fruits and a delicious combination of flours:  spelt, rye, and hazelnut. The addition of honey and yogurt provide a hint of sweetness and tanginess.

I always have specialty flours in my freezer, and my biweekly produce box just happened to contain pears, so this was the perfect cake to make.  I did end up baking it for about 15 minutes longer to be sure the cake was cooked through.


 

Each piece was served with a dollop of yogurt and a drizzle of honey.

I loved kicking off my participation with this one. It tested my knowledge, trying something new. I also had to bake for way longer than listed but this told me I also need to check my oven lol.
