Soft as cotton [Pear Cotton Cake]

Overview

The soft cotton cake has a dense, soft and delicate texture, very much like cotton, hence the name. I once saw someone adding fruits to the cake to make a fruit cotton cake, which is very tempting. I happened to have pears at home, so I also tried to make a pear cotton cake. I was really surprised when the finished product came out~~ So no matter what season, you can use the existing seasonal fruits on hand to try this fruit cotton cake. You can’t go wrong. Mold: 10-inch square mold with removable bottom (18*18)
