Cooking notes
Adaptation of Dani Valent’s fruit cake: gently infuse the butter with whole culinary bay leaves, remove every leaf and let the butter cool to a workable consistency. Combine with the pear, buckwheat, almonds and remaining cake ingredients; cover with apple slices and bake until set. The original mills the leaf into the batter; this version uses an infusion instead. Dani Valent — Apple, Pear & Bay Leaf Cake
