Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon softened butter
2 ripe pears - peeled, cored, and sliced, or more to taste
3 eggs
¾ cup white sugar
1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons kirsch (cherry brandy)
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Butter a 10 1/2-inch round baking dish or pie plate. Fan pear slices out in a single layer in the bottom.
  • Beat eggs and sugar together using an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Mix in heavy cream, flour, kirsch, lemon zest, vanilla extract, cardamom, and salt on low speed until batter is smooth. Set batter aside to rest, about 15 minutes.
  • Pour batter over the pears in the baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set and golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool briefly, about 15 minutes. Serve warm, sprinkled with confectioners' sugar.
