Steps:
- For the pretzel crust: In a food processor, pulse the pretzels, sugar and butter together until nearly as fine as graham cracker crumbs.
- Line a 9-inch cake pan with parchment and press the pretzel crumbs into the base.
- Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 10 minutes. Cool on a rack.
- Once cooled, scatter the caramel pieces over the top and set aside
- For the flourless chocolate cake: Adjust the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler over medium heat.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites on medium-high speed until they reach medium peaks.
- Add the sugar and whip to stiff peaks. Add the egg yolks and whip for two minutes.
- Fold in the chocolate mixture in three stages, being careful not to deflate the batter.
- Pour the batter into the pretzel crust, and bake for 15 minutes. When done, the center should feel slightly bouncy, but an inserted cake tester should come out like a moist brownie batter.
- Allow the cake to cool overnight before unmolding.
- For the spice blend: In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon, ginger and star anise until well blended. Set aside.
- For the sauteed pears: In a saute pan over medium heat, saute the pears until slightly translucent.
- Add the sugar and 1/2 tablespoon of the spice blend, and cook until the pears are tender and their juices slightly thickened. Allow to cool before use.
- For the salted caramel sauce: In a large pot, combine the sugar, water, corn syrup and salt. Cook until the mixture acquires a nice amber color, indicating it has reached the caramel stage (325 degrees F on a candy thermometer). Remove from the heat.
- Gently heat the cream in the microwave, then add it slowly to the caramel (be very careful¿the mixture will bubble up!).
- Once all cream is added, stir in the butter. Taste and season with more salt if necessary. Let cool.
- To finish: Top the cake with sauteed pears and pour caramel over. Chill until the caramel sets.
- Serve with brandy-flavored sweetened whipped cream.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 195C/175C fan/gas 5 ½. Butter and line the base of three 20cm round cake tins. Add the grated ginger to the grated pear and push down with a wooden spoon to squeeze out as much juice as possible.
- Mix the flours, spices, baking powder and 1 tsp salt in a bowl. In a stand mixer, vigorously whisk the eggs and sugars for 3 mins until thick and frothy. Slowly pour in the oil in a steady stream. Turn the speed down, then add the flour mixture, 2 tbsp at a time, alternating with the yogurt, until incorporated. Mix in the grated pear (for no longer than 20 secs). Divide the mixture between the tins and bake for 25-30 mins or until a skewer inserted comes out dry.
- For the caramel, heat the pear juice and perry in a pan until reduced to about 50ml. Add the sugar and butter and whisk to a smooth caramel, then add the cream and whisk again until smooth. Add sea salt to your taste - I'd go for a generous pinch, so that the caramel is still fruity and sharp but has a little saltiness to it - then allow to cool slightly to just warmer than room temperature.
- To make the buttercream, put the egg whites and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Place the bowl over a pan of boiling water, then whisk until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is no longer gritty. Put the bowl in the mixer, then whisk until soft peaks form and the bowl returns to room temperature. Switch to the paddle attachment, then add the butter, one spoonful at a time. Add the tahini, vanilla and a pinch of salt, and beat to a light, fluffy icing.
- Place the bottom layer of sponge on a platter or cake stand, then top with a layer of the buttercream and scatter over a third of the chopped pear. Repeat with the next two layers. To ice the cake, do an intial layer all over, chill in the fridge for 20 mins, then use the remaining icing to cover everything. Use a stepped spatula to spread it out evenly. Pour the caramel over the top of the cake, and allow it to drip down the sides. Scatter with toasted buckwheat, dehydrated pear and rosemary, if you like.
