To prepare the Apple and Pear Cake, start by washing and cleaning the apples and pears, then remove the cores, peel and cut into small cubes. Place the fruit in a bowl and add a few drops of lemon juice to prevent browning. Separately, melt the butter in a bain-marie (double boiler), then let it cool completely.
Take a large bowl and beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until you get a light and fluffy mixture. Now add the melted butter and, when it’s perfectly incorporated, sift the flour and baking powder directly into the bowl. Add the salt, rum, and room temperature milk, then mix well to combine. Add half of the diced fruit to the mixture, stirring well to incorporate.
Butter and flour a 9-inch (24 cm) springform pan and pour in the batter, then level the surface with a spatula. Take the remaining fruit and arrange it on top of the cake, then sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 35 minutes. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a cooling rack. When the cake is cold, dust with powdered sugar and serve your Apple and Pear Cake!
