Start with beating the butter and honey with a whisk (or wooden spoon) until smooth. Add the eggs one at the time, mixing well after each one. Add the ground almonds mixed with baking soda, then milk and combine all. Pour the cake mixture into the prepared tin and level the surface. Core the pears and slice lengthways into thick slices then, arrange them on top of the cake, sprinkle with the flaked almonds and bake in pre-heated 180 C oven for 45 minutes - until the top of cake is golden. Allow to cool on the rack; this cake is lovely served both warm and cold.
