Pear, polenta and almond cake (Julia Turshen recipe)...

It was so-so. I found it a little dry, and the baby food 'hack' was disappointing (I think making my own purée would've been more flavourful).

 

Maybe my pear was a little under-ripe but the slices didn't soften much, which didn't help. You can see it better without the icing sugar...

If I made it again (which doesn't seem likely) I'd try softening the slices with some butter before arranging on top.
