I adore cakes that are not overly sweet and contain fruit. This week's Tuesday with Dorie recipe, chosen by Caitlin of Engineer Baker, was Cornmeal and Fruit Loaf, and ticked all of my boxes.
This cake was light, with a bit of crunch from the cornmeal, and sweetness from fresh and dried pear.

Debating whether or not I want to make this one, the combination sounds a bit odd to me, so thought I would pop over and see what you thought. If you like it this much, I think I should give it a go. Thanks! It looks very pretty.
I also adore cakes that aren't overly sweet and contain fruit! I don't think I've ever seen dried pears in a store before--I'll have to keep an eye out for them. You're always introducing me to things I've never tried!
Mmmmmm...looks delish!

I also really like cakes that aren't too sweet. This looks great! :D
Your loaf looks absolutely gorgeous! Mine are cooling on the racks right now.
It looks delicious! I like not-so-sweet cakes with fruit, but the cornmeal scared me away from trying this one.
The pear in this cake sounds delicious!
I thought about using pears. Next time I will. Love the flavors and texture of this cake.
Love love these. Wish i had a slice with my coffee right now.
I think pears are underused and underrated, don't you? Great to see a good recipe for 'em. I'm also guilty of not using cornmeal very often, so this is a welcome reminder on that front, too!
It looks so good on your pretty plate. Makes me wish, I had more.
Your loaf is so beautiful and golden brown. Mine got a little dark but it's very tasty.
Pears sound lovely in this - beautiful loaf, Gaye!
This was a good one. I'd make it again with pears for sure.
the plate is so cheerful - i love polkadots. I put strawberries in mine!

I love fruit cakes and this really makes me salivate and so many months away from sweets :)
sounds and looks just perfect!
great idea to use pear. not a lot of people like the texture but i think baked pear is just lovely!! GLAD YOU LIKED IT!
This looks awesome! I'm super picky about my cornbread but I know I would love this!
This will suit me fine for someone without a sweet tooth.
Whatever i have baked with Cornmeal so far has been deliciously exciting and this loaf sure proves it again!
I like that too , jus sweet enough with some nice fruit thrown in.
I love cornmeal!
Yours looks good and I want that plate. :) I want to try the pear version of this.
I just love baking - and eating - and using cornmeal means I can pretend that whatever I make is just that little bit healthier!
Looks lovely - did you eat it plain or butter it (I'd probably butter it...but that's just me!)
Hi Crusader, I had it plain - and it was good.
This loaf looks so good and sounds really interesting with the texture and taste of the cornmeal and mixture of dried and fresh pear. I really want to try this recipe.
