This Pear Custard Pie is a delicious cake which combines sweet juicy pears with creamy custard. This delicious dessert reminds me of a cake I had on vacation in Austria a few years ago. It takes me right back to the Viennese coffee house where I spent an hour one chilly afternoon. Isn’t it lovely how food can do that?
To make this cake, start by arranging pear slices in a baking pan. Make custard batter by combining butter, eggs, milk, salt, granulated sugar, flour, and vanilla in a blender and processing until you have a smooth mixture. Pour the custard over the pears and bake them in the oven until the custard is golden on top and feels firm to the touch. Once cool, dust the top with powdered sugar and serve.

Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Lightly grease a 9-inch round pan with cooking spray and line with a round piece of baking parchment paper.
Arrange the sliced pear in the bottom of the baking pan.
Put the ¼ cup of melted unsalted butter in a blender with 3 eggs, ¾ cup of milk, ¼ teaspoon of kosher salt, ⅓ cup of granulated sugar, ⅓ cup of all-purpose flour, and 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract and blend until completely smooth.
Pour the custard over the pears in the baking pan.
Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes until golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the pan.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve slices with strong coffee.

Hi, Jean! Thank you for your attention to our recipes. The confusion between pie, cake, and coffee cake in the recipe's title is due to the dessert's mixed characteristics, as it blends elements from all three types. This multi-naming is a culinary quirk where a dish can sit at the intersection of multiple dessert types! I hope this will not prevent you from enjoying this delicious dessert with all your heart.
