How to Prepare Upside Down Pear Cake [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Spread chopped pears over the bottom of the cake pan, pour coconut oil over and sprinkle with sugar; set aside.
Preheat oven at 350°F.
Sift the flours. In a big bowl mix the flours with baking powder and salt. In another bowl, stir in the coconut oil, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Pour the liquids in the dry ingredients and stir with a whisk to prevent lumps.
Pour the batter over the pears, beat the cake pan on the counter to make the batter fill the empty spaces, and bake for 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the oven.
Turn upside down the cake over a cooling rack leaning on a piece of parchment paper and let it set.
Reserve any leftover in the refrigerator for few days.
