Pear Blackberry Almond Cake

Pear Blackberry Almond Cake

Imagine a light, flavorful almond cookie combined with the simple sweetness of pear and the robust tang of blackberries. That’s the idea behind this European inspired treat that’s perfect for brunch or with a nice cup of tea. P.S. Collagen goes great in that tea too :)
