- 1/2 cup (60 grams) tapioca starch/flour

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease a 9 inch round cake pan with a small amount of avocado oil and lightly dust with cassava flour. Shake pan to distribute flour evenly and then discard any that hasn’t stuck to the pan.

- Pour batter evenly over pears in cake pan.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, until cake is firm and top is golden brown.
- Allow to cool completely, then run a knife around the edge to release cake from pan and carefully flip cake over onto serving plate.
- Top with Sweet Apricity Sea Salted Caramel Sauceas desired.
Notes
When buying canned pears, look varieties that have been canned in juice rather than in a sugar syrup. Be wary of “no sugar added” labels however, because these frequently have artificial sweeteners.
