Rhubarb and Pear Loaf

 I didn't sprinkle with the almonds. Seems a very soft cake but it is going in deep freeze so will see how it is when it comes out.



  • 80 g butter
  • 3/4 cup caster sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 pears mashed ripe
  • 1 1/3 cup self-raising flour
  • 1 tbs milk
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 4 stalks rhubarb chopped into pieces
  • 1 tsp sugar

Step 1 Beat together butter, caster sugar and vanilla until fluffy.

Step 2 Add eggs one at a time, beating fully in between. 

Step 3 Add mashed pear, milk, flour cinnamon and mix until combined. 

Step 4 Line bottom of a high sided cake tin with GLAD Bake and then pour in the cake mixture. 

Step 5 Combine rhubarb with sugar in a GLAD bag, give it a shake, then press lightly into the top of the cake mix 

Step 6 Optional – Add flaked almonds. Bake 40 minutes at 180C (170C fan forced). Enjoy.
