PREPARATION:

Tip :) For this recipe, and especially when measuring ingredients like flour, be sure to use a kitchen scale.

1. Peel the pears and apples, remove the cores, and cut them into small pieces. Mix them in a bowl with cinnamon, sugar, and lemon juice, then set aside.

The batter:

1. Cream the eggs, sugar, and butter together. Stir in the oat milk.
2. Mix the cassava flour, ground almonds, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and potato starch in a separate bowl.
3. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture. It’s best to mix well first by hand and then again with a mixer.
4. Fold the walnuts into the pear and apple mixture by hand, then pour the batter into a springform pan lined with parchment paper (24 cm diameter).
5. For the topping, briefly mix all the ingredients with your fingers, crumble over the cake, and press down slightly.
6. Bake the cake in a preheated oven (top and bottom heat) at 200°C for about 55 minutes.
7. Let the cake cool in the pan, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
