Gluten-free Pear-Marzipan Cake
Pane-Bistecca
A gluten-free pear-marzipan cake looks great on any table.
Delicate pears combined with marzipan—what a treat! Pears go wonderfully with the almond paste, and all of that on a crispy butter crust makes this cake the perfect dessert.
When it comes to baked goods, I can’t get enough of that marzipan flavor! The marzipan flavor simply pairs perfectly with fluffy, crispy, and doughy treats. With a touch of marzipan, any cake becomes the highlight of any coffee table spread!
