Indulge in the delightful experience of making a Pear and Almond Cake, a soft and moist dessert that combines the sweetness of fresh pears with the rich, nutty flavor of ground almonds. This cake is perfect for any occasion, whether as a comforting treat during cozy afternoons or an impressive centerpiece for dinner parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe pears (Bosc or Anjou), peeled, cored, sliced
  • 1 cup ground almonds (almond flour)
  • 1/2 cup plain flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake tin.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until pale and fluffy (about 3–5 minutes).
  3. Add eggs one at a time to the mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, mix ground almonds, plain flour, and baking powder. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the butter mixture until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in pear slices (reserve some for decoration), pour batter into prepared tin, smooth the top, arrange reserved pear slices on top, sprinkle with sliced almonds, and bake for 45–55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
