Instructions

Preheat your oven to 160°C fan / 180°C conventional / Gas Mark 4 / 350°F. Grease and line a deep 20cm (8") round baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and creamy.
200 g Salted butter, 200 g Caster sugar
Beat in one egg at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
4 large Eggs, 1 tsp Vanilla extract
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and ground cinnamon.
Gradually fold the flour mixture into the wet mixture a little at a time until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as you go.
200 g Self raising flour, 1 tsp Baking powder, 1 tsp Cinnamon
Peel and grate the pears down to the core, then gently fold the grated fruit into the sponge mixture until evenly distributed.
2 Pears
Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Now sprinkle over almond slices on top of the cake if using and bake in the middle of a preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and risen and a skewer comes out clean.
Let the cake rest in the pan on a wire rack until completely cool before removing.
