VANILLA AND POACHED PEARS CAKE

Beat the butter and sugar for a few minutes until the
two have blanched. Add the eggs one by one. Melt
the white chocolate in a bain-marie and add it to the
mixture. Add the vanilla extract.
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Add it
into the mixture and gradually mix in the milk.
Grease a cake mold and line it with parchment paper.

Heat the water, sugar and vanilla extract in a large
saucepan.
Once the water is simmering, put in the peeled pears
and leave them to poach for 15 minutes from the
moment the water starts simmering again.
Take them out of the water and leave them to drain.
