This quick and easy marzipan cake with poached pears really took my heart by storm! The perfect elevated pear dessert to make this holiday season.<\/p>\n

The cake is super moist and juicy thanks to ground almonds. In this poached pear cake recipe, I flavored the cake batter with some amaretto liqueur and nestled white wine poached seasonal pears right in the batter to turn it into a comforting fall bake. As the cake batter is not overly sweet, it goes perfectly with the syrupy vanilla and white wine poached pears. <\/p>\n

In Germany there are many popular traditional pear cake recipes. While my German Red Wine Cake<\/a> recipe used sliced canned pears, this German Marzipan cake features fresh pears poached in white wine. They stay whole and we stick them right into the cake batter. This makes for a particularly juicy cake that is perfect for autumn and winter!<\/p>\n

I used bartlett pears, as they hold a great shape after being poached and baked. However, bosc pears will work great too. <\/p>\n

The pears are peeled, then poached in a mixture of white wine, vanilla and whole spices! The secret to the best marzipan & poached pear cake? We drizzle the finished pear cake with a little amaretto and the leftover white wine poaching syrup from the pears.<\/p>\n
