- 2 pears peeled and sliced
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 4 eggs
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- Ground cinnamon for dusting
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and arrange pear slices evenly on the bottom.
In a medium bowl, mix almond flour, brown sugar, salt, and baking powder.
In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients in two batches, stirring until just combined.
Pour batter over pears, spreading it evenly.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then flip onto a plate.
Lightly dust with cinnamon and serve.
Use fresh pears for the best flavor, but canned (drained) pears work too.
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
