			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We got a sweet cast iron skillet for our wedding.  The beauty of this heavy piece of cookware is that it can go from burner to oven.  I had read about depression era skillet cakes that used other fruit, including peaches, but since I am up to my ears in pears (still), I decided to try with that.</p>
<p>For the &#8220;cake&#8221; part, I used this amazing vegan recipe from <strong><a href="http://www.theppk.com/recipes/dbrecipes/index.php?RecipeID=39">post punk kitchen</a></strong> for cornbread.  It is dense and moist, and I happened to have some local cornmeal on hand.</p>
<p>Start by peeling your pears:<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sweetlocalfarm/3953270288/" title="photo by Sweet Local Farm, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2636/3953270288_d2560e2795.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="photo" /></a></p>
<p>Then slice them thinly:<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sweetlocalfarm/3953270414/" title="photo-1 by Sweet Local Farm, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2463/3953270414_556b5b65e3.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="photo-1" /></a></p>
<p>Heat up 3 tablespoons of &#8220;butter&#8221; and a quarter cup of sugar in the skillet:<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sweetlocalfarm/3953270540/" title="photo-2 by Sweet Local Farm, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2607/3953270540_24d8539b41.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="photo-2" /></a></p>
<p>Line up your pears so they cover the bottom of the skillet and let them cook on medium heat for 10 minutes:<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sweetlocalfarm/3952494519/" title="photo-3 by Sweet Local Farm, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2536/3952494519_e2cb6d8c27.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="photo-3" /></a></p>
<p>Start scooping your batter on top of the pears and use a spatula to spread it evenly:<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sweetlocalfarm/3952494595/" title="photo-4 by Sweet Local Farm, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2588/3952494595_4fdd39313e.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="photo-4" /></a></p>
<p>Throw it in a preheated oven for 30 minutes:<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sweetlocalfarm/3952494675/" title="photo-5 by Sweet Local Farm, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2513/3952494675_ef2293ff2e.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="photo-5" /></a></p>
<p>This is what it looks like done in the skillet:<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sweetlocalfarm/3952494749/" title="photo-6 by Sweet Local Farm, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2612/3952494749_427861e9aa.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="photo-6" /></a></p>
<p>To flip your cake, let it cool for a few minutes then put a big plate face down on the skillet and flip:<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sweetlocalfarm/3952494829/" title="photo-7 by Sweet Local Farm, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2495/3952494829_9007537334.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="photo-7" /></a></p>
<p>This cake is perfect for a healthy dessert or a hearty breakfast:<br />
