Red pear & polenta cake

This post is also available in: Español

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I’m FAN of the cakes with polenta, well, I’m a fan of the polenta in any way, but in a cake is really great, it gives a texture and a corn flavor that no other ingredient gives! I haven’t used it for baking for a long time, and when I made this cake, I remembered everything that I loved cooking with polenta.

This cake is gluten-free, very fluffy and moist thanks to the pears, which are my favorite fruits. And as soon as I saw these red pears in the market I thought “I have to make a cake with these beauties”. So here is one of the richest, healthiest and most beautiful cakes I made.

Do you dare to try the recipe? You will not regret! If the tests tell me, send me an email or comment in the blog post how it came out, if you liked it, or that you would change it, I would love to listen to the advice of those who try my recipes! And if you share a photo on your Instagram or stories tag me like @gaspic_healthyberry so I can see it and I’ll share you in my stories!

    This turned out really well! I substituted pears with apples and reduced the sugar quantity in the recipe as I prefer to sweeten with toppings if I find it necessary, but the result was more than delicious. Also, I added some pecan nuts for crunchiness and loved the flavour mix. Thank you for sharing this with us!

Crust
-2 cups buckwheat flour
-1/4 cup coconut sugar
-1/3 cup cold water
-1 flax egg (1 Tbsp flax meal mixed with 3 Tbsp of water, let rest 15min)
-1/4 cup liquid oil (sunflower or coconut)
-pinch of sea salt
Filling
-1k strawberries, fresh or frozen
-1/3 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 cup cornstarch
-2 Tbsp lemon juice

Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a large bowl mix the flour and the sugar with the oil and the egg, once integrated add the water little by little until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. Divide into 2, set aside one half, and stretch the other half to a thickness of 5mm, put it in a 20cm diameter mold, and cook for 10 minutes.
Filling
While cut the strawberries in quarters, mix them in a pot with the rest of the filling ingredients, and boil in a covered pot, mixing every few minutes, until the strawberries are soft, put on the crust, and cover with the remaining dough (stretch it to a thickness of 5mm as well). Make a small cross-shaped cut on the top, and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
