- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well in between.
- Add the almond essence, almonds, flour, baking powder and water and gently fold in.
- Spread out evenly in the baking tray. Press the pears and the pecans into the top of the mixture and sprinkle the sugar over the top.
- Place in the oven for 35 minutes, the cake should be gently browned and the pears tender. Leave to cool before cutting into slices.
- Serve with either custard or double cream.

Julie Watts - Hi I wanted to make the pear and pecan slice featured on your website......I didn’t have any pears or pecans so I made it with apples and flaked almonds and it was really lovely! So thank you Nosh! Best wishes Julie29 Nov 2019
