Directions
- Special Equipment: KitchenAid® paddle attachment; 9” round cake pan; saucepan.
- Preheat oven to 350°F/177°C. Place a large tin foil sheet on the rack below your baking rack to catch any bubbling juices while the cake is baking.
- Make the caramel base. Melt 1/4 cup butter in a saucepan on medium high heat. Once melted, add 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup honey and gently whisk until sugar dissolves. Allow mixture to come to a heavy bubble, then reduce heat to medium and cook for another minute. Remove from heat, whisk and then spread evenly in the cake pan. Layer 2-3 pears in whatever pattern desired. Set aside.

A lot of effort for a cake that tastes ok, I'd rather make an upside down cake with canned pineapple for all the effort that went in to making the caramelized pears that half stuck to the pan. The cornmeal doesn't add much to the texture of the crumb other than makes it gritty.
