Almond Flour Pear Cake

This spiced almond flour pear cake is a great way to use up pears. Plus, it’s made with simple ingredients, most of which you probably already have on hand.

Firstly, you will need to spray and line a round 9-inch cake pan with parchment paper. This will help the cake release from the pan without leaving any pieces of cake behind.

Then, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, salt and spices.

In a separate bowl, beat together the unsalted room-temperature butter and sugar. You want to mix until the butter and sugar are fluffy; about two minutes. Then, beat in the eggs until well combined.

Next, add the dry ingredients into the wet and mix until well combined.

Lastly, fold in the diced pears and mix until well combined.

Baking with pears

Pears have a tendency to be very moist when they are overly ripe. For this recipe, I recommend using a firmer Bosc pear and dice it into about ¼ inch pieces.

Here, I only use on pear. I have made this recipe with more than one pear and find that the batter gets too moist.

If you only have a very ripe pear on hand, it’s best to place sliced pear on top of the batter rather than incorporating it into the batter. That way you get the flavor of the pear without making the batter too wet.

Bake until toothpick comes out clean

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the top of the cake with your spatula. Bake in a preheated oven for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.

Almond flour cakes have the tendency to bake faster than other cakes. So be sure to keep an eye on the cake and don’t over bake it.

Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving it. If you cut into the cake too soon, you risk it crumbling and falling apart.

To finish off the cake, dust the top with powdered sugar.

How to store almond flour pear cake

This is a great make-ahead recipe that keeps well for days. Leftover cake should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Alternatively, you can freeze the cake in an airtight container or ziplock bag for up to a month.
