Recipe - Pear Breakfast Cake

1 lg Ripe but firm pear, about 9
ounces
Freshly ground black pepper
(optional)
2 lg Eggs
Three fourths cup Sugar
One half teaspoon Vanilla
2/3 cup Brown rice flour
1/3 cup Cornstarch
One half teaspoon Baking powder
1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 10 x 8 x 2inch ceramic baking dish
with butter.

Peel, core and dice the pear. Spread in baking dish and top with a
light grinding of black pepper, if desired.

Beat eggs and sugar until pale in color and very thick. Add vanilla.

Combine rice flour, cornstarch and baking powder. Sift over egg
mixture and fold in. Drizzle oil around edge of bowl and fold in.
Spread batter over minced pear.

Bake for 35 minutes. A pale gold, crackly "sugar bloom" like a very
thin layer of pastry will form on top of the cake. Dust with
powdered sugar before serving from the dish, warm or cold.
