    Categories: Cakes
    Yield: 1 Cake

    3 Eggs
    4 tb Honey
    300 ml Extra-virgin olive oil
    Salt
    100 g Caster sugar
    1 Lemon; zest of
    2 ts Rosemary leaves; finely
    -chopped
    150 g Spelt flour
    200 g Plain flour
    1 ts Baking powder
    4 sm Pears; peeled, cored and cut
    -into 2 cm pieces
    Crème fraîche or double

    Heat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4, and grease and line a
    loose-bottomed cake tin about 27 cm wide.

    Beat the eggs and honey until light and frothy, then slowly whisk in
    the oil. Season with a pinch of salt, then stir in the sugar, lemon
    zest, and rosemary.

    Sift the flours and baking powder together, then fold into the egg
    mixture. Stir in the pears, then transfer the lot into the cake tin
    and bake in the middle of the oven for 50-60 minutes, until golden
    and a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the centre of the
    cake. If the top turns golden before the cake is cooked, cover with
    foil for the last 20 minutes of cooking.

    Leave to cool in the tin for half an hour, then turn out and transfer
    to a wire rack.

    Serve with dollops of crème fraîche or softly whipped double cream.
