How to make a gluten-free apple and pear cake

Tip :) Always use a kitchen scale for our recipe and for weighing ingredients such as the flour.

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

The batter:

1. Cream the eggs, sugar and butter. 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. Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture. It is best to do this by hand first and then mix well once more with the mixer.
4. Fold the walnuts, pears and apples into the batter by hand and pour it into a springform pan (24 cm in diameter) lined with baking paper.
5. For the topping, briefly mix all the ingredients with your fingers, crumble over the cake and press down lightly.
6. Bake the cake in the preheated oven at 200 °C top and bottom heat for approx. 55 minutes.
7. Let the cake cool in the pan and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
