Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F and line a cake pan with baking paper.

  2. Whisk eggs and sugar until pale and slightly thick.

  1. Whisk in yogurt, olive oil, and vanilla until smooth.

  2. Combine flour, ground almonds, baking powder, and salt in a second bowl.

  3. Fold the dry mixture into the yogurt mixture just until combined.

  4. Spread batter in the pan and arrange pear slices over the top.

  5. Bake until the cake is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

  6. Cool before slicing so the pear topping stays neat.

Tips

Use ripe but firm pears so they soften without turning watery.
