INSTRUCTIONS

Make pear cake:  Preheat oven to 350F and lightly butter and flour an 8
1/2-inch  springform pan, knocking out excess flour.  In a bowl whisk
together flour, cinnamon, and baking powder. In  another bowl with an
electric mixer beat together and 1 1/4 cups  sugar until light and
fluffy and beat in eggs, 1 at a time, beating  well after each
addition. Beat in flour mixture and milk alternately  in batches,
beginning and ending with flour mixture and beating until  just
combined after each addition, and stir in grappa. Peel and core  pears
and cut into 1/2-inch dice. Fold pears int batter with raisins  or
prunes and pine nuts.  Pout batter into prepared pan and sprinkle top
with remaining  tablespoon sugar. Bake cake in middle of oven until a
tester comes  out with crumbs adhering to it, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool
cake in pan on  rack and remove side of pan.  Make grappa sauce:  In a
bowl with an electric mixer beat together eggs, sugar, and  cinnamon
until thick and pale. In a metal bowl set over a pan of  barely
simmering water melt butter and stir in egg mixture. Cook  sauce,
stirring constantly, until thickened and it registers 165F on  a candy
thermometer, about 7 minutes. Remove bowl from pan and stir  in cream
and grappa.  Serve cake with warm sauce.  Makes 1 cake.  Gourmet
