Nonna's Italian Pear Almond Cake (e105)

Buon Giorno A Tutti!  In this episode, Nonna Mia, la nonna di tutti (everyone's grandmother), makes use of her wonderful pear tree harvest by baking a very fruity Italian Pear Almond Cake.

Here are the ingredients that you will need:
- 8 pears to yield about 5 cups / 750 grams of peeled pear chunks
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup of sugar / 200 grams
- 2 ounces of Amaretto / 60 ml
- 6 ounces of olive oil / 180 ml
- 2.5 cups of almond flour / 250 grams
- 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour / 120 grams
- tsp of baking powder / 4 grams
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup of shaved almonds / 70 grams
- powdered sugar for dusting

Preheat your oven to 375 F / 190 C and grease a 10-inch (25 cm) springform pan. Nonna starts with about 8 pears which she peels and cubes to create about 5 cups of pear chunks. Of course, you could use fewer pears, but apart from being super moist and healthy, Nonna prefers a fruitier cake.

Beat eggs, add sugar, Amaretto, and oil until fluffy. In a separate bowl, mix dry ingredients: almond flour, flour, salt, and baking powder. Slowly blend dry ingredients into the wet ingredients bowl until fully mixed. Then fold in the pears by hand, pour into the greased pan, and bake for approximately an hour. Test with a strand of uncooked spaghetti, skewer, or toothpick to ensure fully cooked - especially the center.

Allow to cool for about 10 minutes, then remove springform sides. Once the top is cool, dust with powdered sugar.

Buon appetito!
