On our honeymoon, my husband and I had this delicious dessert at Al Covo in Venice. I've tried to re-create the recipe because it was so tasty!

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar
1 ½ tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ cup unsalted butter
1 ¼ cups white sugar
3 large eggs
⅓ cup milk
1 teaspoon almond extract
3 pears, peeled and diced
½ cup blueberries
½ cup almonds, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 inch springform pan. Combine 1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons white sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl; reserve.
  • Whisk together flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and baking powder in a large bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat the butter and 1 1/4 cups white sugar together in a separate large bowl. Beat until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Mix in 1/3 of the flour mixture until just combined. Beat in 1/2 of the milk and another 1/3 of the flour mixture. Repeat with the remaining milk and flour. Stir in the almond extract.
  • Gently fold pears, blueberries, and chopped almonds into the batter. Pour into prepared pan. Sprinkle reserved sugar and cinnamon mixture over the cake batter.
  • Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes.
