Upside-down sticky pear and walnut cake from Sift: The Elements of Great Baking (page 152) by Nicola Lamb

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Turned out really well. A bit messy as I possibly put too much of the sauce and pears on the bottom, so it fell apart a bit. But it was absolutely delicious

    This is outstanding and fairly easy. I was surprised at how light the cake was. I didn’t use the buckwheat flour. I increased the walnuts and flour option.
