Honey Pear Walnut Cake
Lower-carb. Honey is the star of the cake.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Peel and core the pears.
- 2
Chop three of the pears roughly and cook in a covered saucepan over medium heat for 10 minutes with the lemon juice and 1-1/2 tablespoon honey.
- 3
Remove from the heat, and roughly mash the pears in to a puree. Let cool. You should end up with 2 cups of mashed pears to add to the cake.
- 4
Mix the almond flour with the 1-1/2 cups of honey.
- 5
Add the eggs, 1 teaspoon of the vanilla, and the cooked pears and puree the mixture. Pour into the prepared pan. I used a springform pan sprayed with nonstick spray.
- 6
In a small saucepan, heat the honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and the water until the mixture bubbles. Omit this step if using method 2 on next step.

Method 1: Slice the last remaining pear into ¼" slices and add the slices to the hot honey mixture. Remove from the pan from the heat and toss gently to coat. Method 2: Slice the pear thinly add to cake batter and drizzle with honey and vanilla extract. I did method 2.

Add honey to pot and heat, add the walnuts till coated. Sprinkle the walnuts over the top of the cake. Top with the sliced pears and spoon any remaining honey sauce over the top of the cake.
- 9
Bake for 90 minutes or until the cake is browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 30 minutes, then run the dull side of a knife around the sides of the pan cut slices and serve. I hope you enjoy!!

Poached Pears Almond Cake Poached Pears Almond Cake
I decided to poach my pears the "Poire belle Hélène way" in a spiced syrupy water for more depth of flavors. Beautiful isn't it? I noticed that the pears in most of the pear cake loaf recipes weren't cored. I wonder how they eat the pear cakes. I of cos cleaned the bottom and cored the pears with a melon baller. If you don't have a melon baller, you can use a small sharp knife. Be sure not to damage the pears. In closing, I really hope you will give this recipe a try.

Sliced Almond & Pear Cake Sliced Almond & Pear Cake
When I was an intern in New York I was invited to my German professor's home. This cake was served at that time. I loved this cake so much, which suited my tastes perfectly, that he gave me the recipe. I have cherished this recipe for a long time, and having made this cake so many times, I have now adjusted the ingredients and ratios to my own liking.Adding sliced almond instead of ground almond to the cake batter is the key to this recipe. This cake has a lot of it so the sponge itself is not that fluffy, but the crunchy texture and the soft pear are an unexpected match. Recipe by Usagi no Cima. (For a 16 cm round cake tin.)
