Author Notes: This is a magnificent cake was created by me one day out of frustration. I have been craving a proper vanilla pear tart but couldn’t have it due to dreadful dairy intolerance. I used my basic coffee cake recipe which I use for many fruits of vegetables cakes. It’s super healthful and incredibly delicious. The combination of vanilla and pears is delightful. It is also perfect for people with gluten intolerance. The olive oil sounds like a turn-off but actually it works well in the recipe. The cake takes about 10 minutes to prepare. 35 minutes to bake and then 10 minutes to vanish. ENJOY! p.s. It’s a great cake for Passover. you can use matzo flour instead of the oat flour. —Shelly's Humble Kitchen
