Creamy William Cake with Pear Perfection

My William Cake is based on Australian Chef Karl Schumacher’s sumptuous recipe.
An exquisitely subtle infusion of pears blends beautifully with the two contrasting cream flavors of Williams-Birnen-Brand and brandy-vanilla. Enlivened with cinnamon, anise, cloves and allspice, the delicate balance of sharp and sweet flavors makes for a delicious, sponge cake based dessert. A sprinkling of pistachios provides the pièce de résistance.
