Pear Yogurt Autumn Cake (Gluten Free)

This week I’m bringing you two recipes – today’s is a bonus! Couldn’t help it – it’s the perfect week to double up, don’t you think? Make sure to check out yesterday’s pear cardamom and vanilla marmalade.

Just in case you haven’t decided on dessert for Thanksgiving day (or weekend!), this pear yogurt cake is a total winner! I love the unique combination of flours here – almond, buckwheat, and a gluten free blend. It’s sweet and perfectly paired with autumn spices. Also, it’s especially delicious with a caramel sauce and definitely the pear marmalade! I hope you can make it and share with those you love.

Also, I wanted to take a minute to let each of you know how much I value your support : ) . My creative journey started just over 3 years ago and it’s still surreal to me that I’m curating recipes and beauty for you on a daily basis. Couldn’t have continued this far without your continued love and attention towards this blog of mine. Seriously, it means the world. I look forward to continuing to create and share, and wish you the loveliest holiday week!
