PREPARATION:

Preheat the oven:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch (23cm) round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

1. Prepare the dry ingredients:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

1. Cream the butter and sugar:

• In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

1. Add eggs and extracts:

• Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla and almond extracts.

1. Combine wet and dry ingredients:

• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined (do not overmix).

1. Fold in the pears:

• Gently fold in half of the sliced or diced pears into the batter.

1. Assemble the cake:

• Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Arrange the remaining pear slices on top in a decorative pattern. Sprinkle sliced almonds over the top, if using.

1. Bake:

• Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

1. Cool and serve:

• Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

Tips:

• For extra moisture, you can drizzle the baked cake with a simple syrup made from equal parts sugar and water, heated until dissolved.
• Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
