Carmelise the pears with the butter, sugar, cardamom and salt for 4-5 minutes.
Mix the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar, then add the olive oil, yoghurt, lemon zest and vanilla.
Fold in the dry ingredients and chopped almonds.
Pour the batter into a lined round cake tin.
Spread the pears and caramel over the batter.
Top with flaked almonds and bake at 175°C for a minimum of 45 minutes, longer if needed when a fork doesn’t come out clean.
Let it cool slightly and enjoy.
