Description
A delightful treat that combines the sweetness of ripe pears with the nutty flavor of almonds, topped with a crunchy almond crumble.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium ripe pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Toss the sliced pears with a tablespoon of sugar (optional) and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Gently fold the sliced pears into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and sprinkle the sliced almonds on top.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent drying out.
- Reheat individual slices in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds.
