Description

This pear cake with bacon is an unusual but delicious combination of sweet and savory. The juicy pears, salty bacon, and creamy vanilla sauce harmonize perfectly. I especially like to make this cake in the fall when pears are in season. It is ideal for a brunch or as a special dessert. The preparation takes some time, but the result is worth it. A tip: Use ripe but firm pears for the best taste.
