Steps to Prepare Iced Caramel Macchiato Upside Down Starbucks

Pear Upside-Down Graham Cake

She is officially the face of starbuck's cloud macchiato.

Recipe Summary Pear Upside-Down Graham Cake

I had some freshly picked pears and graham flour to use up and I combined them into this not-too-sweet, whole grain cake. The graham flour adds really nice nutty, honeyed notes, but if you can't find it, you can use whole wheat flour.

Ingredients | Iced Caramel Macchiato Upside Down Starbucks

3 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces

¼ cup dark brown sugar

3 pears - peeled, cored, and sliced

1 ½ cups graham flour

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

½ cup packed dark brown sugar

¼ cup grapeseed oil

2 tablespoons honey

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup whole milk

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pan with 2-inch sides and line the bottom with a round of parchment paper.

Add butter pieces to the pan. Place in the preheating oven until melted. Sprinkle brown sugar on top. Arrange sliced pears in a circular pattern over the butter and brown sugar. Set aside.

Whisk graham flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, salt, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl.

Combine butter, brown sugar, oil, and honey in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add eggs and vanilla extract; beat for 1 minute. Add flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with milk; beat briefly after each addition.

Pour batter carefully over the pears. Smooth the top.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool cake for 10 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack and peel off parchment paper. Allow to cool completely.

Graham flour is a coarsely ground whole wheat flour. I use the Bob's Red Mill(R) brand.

If you don't have a 9-inch pan with 2-inch sides, fill your pan 3/4 of the way and bake any remaining batter as muffins.
