How to Make Gateau Fondant Aux Poires Moist Pear Cake

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the diced pears and slivered almonds.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before releasing the springform.
Once completely cool, dust with powdered sugar (optional) and serve. Enjoy!
