Instructions

1. Separate the eggs, set aside 2 egg whites for later. Mix 1 egg white with the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla sugar and the soft margarine or butter (I always let them melt in the microwave) for a few minutes until frothy.
2. Sift the baking powder into the flour and stir it into the dough spoon by spoon, adding a little milk if necessary. The dough shouldn`t be too runny (I usually use half a small coffee cup).
3. Now peel the pears and rub them roughly in a sieve so that the excess juice can drain off, then add to the batter. Crumble the amarettini (preferably in a freezer bag) and stir into the batter. Beat the two remaining egg whites until stiff and fold into the batter.
4. Pour into a greased and floured loaf pan and bake in a preheated oven at 150 ° C (fan oven) for 50 - 60 minutes. After about 1/4 hour cut into the surface lengthways with a sharp knife. Finally, use a wooden stick to test whether the cake is baked through. If the pears are very juicy, it can take up to 1/4 hour longer.
5. The recipe is enough for a loaf pan, for a Gugelhupf pan you need 500 g of flour and accordingly more of the other ingredients.
