Spiced pear loaf with salty nut crumble

When Rose and Leopold first saw the cake, they told me: "Mum you forgot to remove the pears stem" :)))) But no, my loves, it was done on purpose. It is my friend Bridget, who recently showed me some beautiful cakes featuring entire fruits and veggies. And as I am always in the mood to try something new I thought I would give it a go. So today I baked a fruit loaf with this technique, using fresh pears I had and lots of nuts and spices. I adapted some recipes I had found but did not dare for the first trial to make a vegan loaf. Will be for the next variation. If you want to make this pretty loaf, follow the link below :) Spiced pear loaf with salty nut crumble
