Now you can omit the pears and use apples if you want. We like to use Yellow Smith Apples since they are crunchier and taste better.

Let's Get Started…

The Ingredients To Gather:

• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
• 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• dash nutmeg
• 3 ripe but still firm pears, thinly sliced
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, very soft
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs, at room temperature
• 1 cup flour
• 3 tablespoons cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk

Instructions To Follow:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Lightly butter the sides of a 9-inch round cake pan.
3. Combine the butter, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small saucepan.
4. Heat to boiling, then remove from heat.
5. Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
6. Arrange the pears over the butter mixture and press down.
7. Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until creamy, about 1 minute.
8. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until very smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
9. Sprinkle in the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt, and beat 10 seconds.
10. Pour in the milk and beat just until the batter is evenly moistened, about 1 minute.
11. Pour the batter over the pears, then release any air bubbles.
12. Bake approximately 45 minutes.
13. Run a knife along the outer edge of the cake to loosen it from the pan.
14. Place a plate over the cake, then flip it over to invert the cake onto the pan.
15. Let the cake cool completely before serving.
