Ok, first time sharing some of my baking efforts. I made the Almond Cake with the poached pears from Mark Bitman's NYT recipe. (ok, I just checked and Bitman actually credits Molly Wizenberg from the food blog Orangette for the cake recipe)
I really love that cake. It uses finely ground almonds, a lemon and an orange (boiled and processed to a paste) and a good amount of olive oil. Of course the port reduction you poach the pears in doesn't hurt.
