Description
This Pear Almond Yogurt Cake is a moist and flavorful dessert featuring ripe pears and almond flour.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup plain yogurt (preferably Greek yogurt)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 2 medium ripe pears (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds (for topping)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth. Add the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and almond flour. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan. Arrange half of the thinly sliced pears on top. Pour the remaining batter over the pears, then layer the rest of the pear slices on top. Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the top.
- Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice the cake and serve it as a delightful dessert or treat with your afternoon tea or coffee.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of almond extract to the batter.
- This cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
