Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the Greek yogurt and milk. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
-
Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Arrange half of the sliced pears on top of the batter.
-
Add the remaining batter over the pears and smooth the top. Place the rest of the sliced pears on top and sprinkle the sliced almonds over the pears.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Slice the Almond Pear Cake and serve either warm or at room temperature.
