Vegan pear pie, sounds good, right? I am aware that currently it is not yet in season, but at the vegetable farmer I trust there are super tasty pears from storage. Something had to be made of it as quickly as possible and what better than a delicious cake. Get the bowl out of the cupboard, weigh out the ingredients, get the whisk in place and you’re ready to go. This cake is nice and moist and fluffy, perfect for a coffee party in de sun. Here in Bavaria, spring still shows its timid side and it is windy and cold. I don’t let that discourage me, close my eyes, enjoy a piece of cake and mentally beam myself to the beach.
Vegan pear pie quick and easy
Today’s sponge cake is made with a gluten-free flour blend (or spelt flour if not gluten-free), raw cane sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, mashed banana, plant milk, oil, maple syrup, and a pear. All of this is gradually added to a large baking bowl and worked into a smooth dough. To top it off, I add some pear slices on top of the dough and it’s off to the oven.
While it’s baking, you can go ahead and whip the cream and invite a few friends over.
Simple vegan sponge cake
I love sponge cakes because they are so easy and quick to make. Yeast cakes, such as the vegan Bienenstich are also sensationally delicious, but also require a lot of preparation time.
If you don’t feel like pears today, I recommend the following sponge cake variations:
- Vegan chocolate cake
- Quick poppy seed cake (30 minutes)
- Vanilla cake with chocolate frosting (oil-free)
- Swiss walnut chocolate cake
- Carrot cake with cashew cream cheese
- Blackberry crumble cake
- Simple rhubarb cake
- Mole cake
- Juicy banana cake with cream
- Apple pie with vanilla sauce
- Juicy vegan zucchini cake
- Vegan poppy seed lemon cake
- Simple sponge cake with chocolate chips
I think we’re good to go with our vegan pear pie. I hope you enjoy baking and of course about a review at the bottom of this page. If you post a picture, use the hashtag #veganevibes.
