How to Make Almond And Pear Cake
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 30cm flan tin or pie plate.
- In a large bowl, cream together 170g softened butter, 200g granulated sugar, and the zest of 1 lemon until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 200g all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend), 2 tsp baking powder, and 100g almond meal. If using gluten-free flour, add 1 tsp xanthan or guar gum.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared tin and spread evenly.
- Arrange 3-4 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced, over the batter. Slightly overlap the slices for even coverage.
- Sprinkle 1 tsp ground cinnamon over the pears.
- Pour the remaining batter over the pears and sprinkle with 50g flaked almonds.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before serving warm with your desired topping.
