Time for a delicious pear tart with lavender! We prepare this juicy tart with fresh pears with whole wheat flour and honey.
A weekend without cake? Yes, that is possible. But somehow something is missing :) Even those who eat healthy, may sometimes snack.
That's why today we have a delicious Pear tart with lavender recipe. Because with us the pears pile up to the ceiling. According to Pear pureepears in muesli and smoothie, we are running out of ideas.
An absolute classic among recipes with pears is and remains a juicy pear cake.
By the way, the combination of pear, cake and lavender owes the recipe to a French film.
The romantic comedy is called "pear pie with lavender" Abstract: endless lavender fields, hot summer days. Coffee table under pear trees and lo and behold: there is delicious pear pie with dried Lavender flowers*.
This is how easy it is to make your DIY pear puree!
At the latest after the film you also get desire on our Pear tart with lavender recipe :). Because it looked so great in the movie, we just have to try it. And lo and behold, it's anything but difficult.
By the way: You can also replace the pears with apples!
Ingredients for the pear tart with lavender recipe
But we don't have a conventional recipe with cream, sugar and co. We bake ourselves a Cake with pears of the somewhat different kind. Namely healthy. At least so healthy as a cake can be just. :)
For this, only a few small changes are necessary. With a few simple steps you can transform pears, lavender and flour into a delicious cake.
Exchange household sugar for honey
Purely in terms of taste, honey goes much better with pears than normal sugar could. But since the pears are very sweet, we don't need much of it anyway. Who wants can also Birch sugar* use.
And to balance the sweetness of the honey and pears serves a little lemon juice.
You'll love this porridge with pears!
White flour versus wholemeal flour
White flour does not have a particularly good reputation. That's why we turn to wholemeal flour. You won't taste the difference. But you will feel it.
This is because whole grain flour contains many important nutrients that are no longer present in white flour. It also makes you feel fuller for longer and ensures that blood sugar levels do not rise as much.
Butter in pear tart
However, we remain faithful to the butter. It makes the pear tart juicy and delicious.
So for vegans this pear cake with lavender recipe is unfortunately not suitable. But this is also due to the egg that we pack into the cake. And also honey is strictly speaking not vegan.
Lavender flowers in cake with pears
What distinguishes this cake from a conventional pear cake are the Lavender flowers*. You don't need much of it.
Just 1 teaspoon is enough for a tart pan. So that they give off their flavor properly, soak them in warm honey. This is then spread with a brush on the finished tart. It completes our pear tart with lavender recipe!
This year was very strong lavender. We have already conjured from it:
- Spiced salt with lavender
- Lavender scrub for dry skin
- Lavender cream for headache
- Make lavender syrup yourself
- Lavender jelly with birch sugar
So enough about the ingredients. Now it's time for the preserves :)
Important ingredients that you need for the recipe, I've picked out for you. Organic honey*, Lavender flowers* and Birch sugar* two can be found on Amazon.

It tastes best lukewarm from the oven. But you can also easily reheat the tart in the microwave. You will not notice any difference.
Our conclusion
Hurray for this pear tart recipe with lavender. The combination of pear, honey, lavender and lemon is pure madness.
But for the preparation you need to allow a little time. The dough needs the hour to rest and become really delicious. In this time you can do many other things and then settle with a Cake with pears reward. Sounds like a good plan, right?
Bon appetit! :)
