Funny Cake with Asian Pear Spread
This Pennsylvania Dutch–style dessert gets a subtle update with the addition of Subarashii Kudamono Asian Pear Spread. Created by Chef Jamie D, it layers a sweet pear mixture beneath vanilla cake batter in a deep-dish pie crust—baking into a golden, two-texture treat that’s comforting, familiar, and just a bit unexpected.
Ingredients
For the Spread Mixture
For the Cake
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 cup flour
¼ cup butter
½ cup milk
1 tsp. baking powder
For the Crust
Store-bought frozen crust; or from-scratch recipe of your choosing. Must be Deep Dish style.
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees;
- In small saucepan combine spread, water, and vanilla extract. Warm on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until mixture becomes smooth.
- Combine cake ingredient and mix on medium speed just until the batter is well incorporated.
- Pour first into prepared pie shell, the spread mixture. Then carefully and slowly, layer the cake batter on top. If needed, use a spatula to even out the batter layer getting it as close to the crust edge as possible.
- Bake for 35 minutes or until top of cake is golden brown and center is just set. Cool & enjoy!
