Original post:

I found three big juicy pears on the kitchen counter this morning that had begun to get over-ripe. due They had survived a very busy week at our house; basically because nobody was home to eat them.
Not being one to waste such beautiful fruit, I decided to try and whip together a coffee cake for brunch to put them to good use. I used my basic muffin recipe as the base for the cake recipe and added a simple streusel topping that gets added half way through the baking time. It turned out fantastic; definitely one I'll be making again!

Hello, I love all your recipes BUT afraid to try any as I have a fan force oven , it goes up to 230 which I believe is to hot and I do not now how to covert the temperature for your recipes
. I live in Australia. Can you help ? , kind regards Maria
A quick Google search is all it takes to convert Fahrenheit temperatures to Celsius. 350 F = 176 C
Just made this and love it! The pear went to the bottom of the cake... if I coated the pear with flour would it help?
Another amazing recipe! Thank you!
