Pear and Almond Frangipane Cake

Ripe pear halves baked into a buttery almond frangipane filling set in a crisp sweet pastry shell — this is one of those recipes that looks far more impressive than the effort involved. The fragrant almond filling puffs up beautifully around the fruit in the oven to create a stunning dessert. Serve just warm with a spoonful of cream.
