With tender cake hugging juicy fruit, this fast yet elegant dessert barely adapted from Anna Stockwell’s cookbook For the Table is the definition of simple summer pleasure. Get the fruit macerating before dinner, then stir together the batter while someone else clears the table. You’ll have a warm, gooey dessert in about 30 minutes. All that’s left to do is whip the cream — or, even easier, pull the ice cream out of the freezer. 

The Hot Summer Spoon Cake was one of our <a href="https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/collections/bake-of-the-week-recipes">Bake of the Week</a> recipes for July 2022.

Here's a figgy twist on an old English favorite. Don't expect American pudding; in Great Britain, "pudding" means dessert, and this one is fantastic. Don't skip the sauce; adding whipped cream or vanilla ice cream wouldn't hurt, either. For a version using alternative sweeteners, see the baker's tips below.

Pudding cakes, very popular in the 1940s, have stood the test of time. This lightly spiced pudding cake is filled with pears and pecans, and baked beneath a butterscotch "pudding" that magically migrates to the bottom of the cake during baking. The result? Moist, "scoopable" cake featuring a serving of its own buttery sauce with each delicious bite. 

 

Caramel Pear Pudding Cake

(120 grams) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

cinnamon

cloves

(113 grams) milk

pears

(113 grams) pecans chopped

(213 grams) light brown sugar or dark brown sugar packed

(14 grams) cornstarch

(57 grams) unsalted butter

This moist, rich cake delivers on the seductive promise of chocolate's fragrance wafting through the kitchen as it bakes. Paired with its own fudge sauce, the cake is even better when topped with whipped cream.
