Last fall I shared my mom's healthy apple cake, this year I'm sharing another one of mom's made up recipes: a healthy pear cake with almonds and white wine (don't worry, the alcohol will evaporate during baking).
The sweetness of the pears, paired (pear-ed, gettit 😜) with the nuttiness of the almonds, the slight zing of the lemon and the fruity tartness of the white wine are just.... mmmh!
My parents have a gnarly old pear tree in their garden that yields heaps of fruit every other year, and this year we didn't only get pears from my parents, but also from a colleague of mine.
So a pear cake was in order. Obviously.
